In 2018, our Concentra segment grew significantly 
through the addition of U.S. HealthWorks. Much of the 
year was spent on this large-scale integration, while 
simultaneously focusing on executing strategic initiatives 
which resulted in: increased visits, decreased patient 
turnaround times and enhanced staffing efficiencies.

>>

Concentra is the nation’s largest provider of occupational 
health services. This segment’s expanded national 
footprint - coupled with its focus on quality care and 
patient/client satisfaction - gives us a distinct competitive 
advantage and will drive growth opportunities in 2019  
and beyond.

Patient Success Story

While being treated for cancer, Melodee experienced numbness in 
her right arm, which her oncologist felt was due to chemotherapy- 
related neuropathy. As time went on, Melodee lost sensation in 
her right hand, was unable to tie her shoes and had to take a daily 
medication, which she feared would be long-term. When she fell 
at work and injured her left arm, Melodee’s employer sent her to 
Concentra. There, Alan, the physician assistant, asked about both 
her injured left arm and her numb right arm/hand. He felt her 
right arm had been misdiagnosed and was actually cubital tunnel 
syndrome. When Melodee started physical therapy for her left arm, 
her therapists, Evan and Justin, also provided home exercises for her 
right hand, which had an immediate effect. “Two weeks after going 
to Concentra, I was able to quit taking medication for my right hand 
and could tie my own shoes again,” Melodee said. “If I hadn’t fallen 
at work, I may never have regained the use of my right hand.”

As we look back on 2018, there are many accomplishments to celebrate. There is a dominant theme that 
emerges and that is one of partnership.

Throughout the year, Select Medical positioned itself as the nation’s premier partner in post-acute care. 
During the past decade, we have successfully partnered with leading organizations to elevate and advance 
healthcare across the country. And 2018 was no exception, as we grew existing joint ventures, announced  
new partnerships and cultivated future opportunities. By joining together, the strength of two becomes the 
power of one … which creates innovative ways to further the delivery of post-acute care.

Early in 2018, Select Medical and Dignity Health announced the completion of a transaction to combine  
Concentra and U.S. HealthWorks. Select Medical also entered into a joint venture with Banner Health to 
operate rehabilitation hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics in Arizona. In May, we celebrated the 
opening of a new rehabilitation hospital through our partnership with Ochsner Health System in Louisiana. 

During the summer, we expanded our joint venture with Baylor Scott & White Health when the doors of  
a fourth rehabilitation hospital opened and we added outpatient rehabilitation clinics in Austin, Texas. In 
October, we announced plans for our first critical illness recovery hospital in California through a partner- 
ship with UC San Diego Health. 

In keeping with our values, we focused on delivering superior quality in all that we do across the organization. 
Within our rehabilitation hospital segment, Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation was honored for the 26th  
consecutive year by U.S. News & World Report as one of the nation’s best rehabilitation hospitals. Mean-
while, our critical illness recovery hospital segment participated in the Mid-Atlantic Alliance for Performance 
Excellence Program, a Malcolm Baldrige-based program. We received the Mastery Award and embraced this 
opportunity to celebrate what we do well, while identifying ways to further innovate and excel.

We were once again pleased that our commitment to growing our Company resulted in another year of  
strong financial performance. Net operating revenues grew 16.4% year-over-year to more than $5.0 billion  
and operating income grew 17.3% year-over-year to $417.3 million. In 2018, we generated more than $494  
million in cash flows from operations during the year, which allowed us to pay down close to $200 million  
of Select’s outstanding debt balance during the year.

Our operating segments continued to evolve and expand their focus in 2018, which include the following 
highlights:

In 2018, we undertook a rebranding initiative for our long-term acute care (LTAC) hospital segment by  
revealing a new name: critical illness recovery hospitals. It better defines our purpose, is more easily under-
stood by key stakeholders, and quickly conveys how we help high-acuity and medically complex patients  
heal and recover. 

In October, our rehabilitation hospitals and critical illness recovery hospitals partnered together to host the 
2018 National Summit on Post-Acute Care Safety and Quality in Washington, D.C. This prestigious event  
is now in its sixth year.

Within the outpatient rehabilitation segment, we continued to focus on concussion management and 
non-pharmaceutical pain management. Our clinics educated their respective communities on “direct  
access” and how individuals can seek physical rehabilitation care without a prescription.

Our innovative ReVital Cancer Rehabilitation program more than doubled in size – growing from four regional 
markets (at the end of 2017) to 10 (by the end of 2018). 

Much of the year was spent integrating the Concentra and U.S. HealthWorks organizations. 

This combined footprint of 524 occupational medicine centers and 124 employer worksites in 43 states serves 
more than 44,000 patients each day. 

The ONE Select Commitment

To maintain Select Medical’s leadership position in post-acute care, we invest time, effort and energy in our 
culture and employee engagement. Our ONE Select philosophy remains at the forefront of our organizational 
consciousness, as it unites our operating segments, geographies, brands and workforce. 

In 2018, our employees laced up their sneakers as nearly 200 walk teams participated at local Relay For Life 
events. Together, we raised more than a quarter million dollars for the American Cancer Society. 

In May, nearly 500 colleagues participated in the 2018 Select Medical Way Conference. Held in Cleveland, it 
was the largest to date and represented our seventh annual reaffirmation to the Select Medical Way, which 
guides our organization’s culture. 

When Mother Nature’s wrath struck, we rallied together to ensure our patients and employees were safe at 
the hospitals, clinics and centers in the devastating path of two back-to-back hurricanes. 

In closing, 2018 was a year in which the company continued to grow and innovate. This was powered by the 
collective clinical quality and operational excellence of Select Medical and its partners. 

As always, we thank you and appreciate your trust and belief in all that we do. 

Sincerely, 

Robert A. Ortenzio

For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017, and 2018, net operating revenues reflect the adoption of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Net operating revenues were  
not retrospectively conformed for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015. 

The selected financial data for the company’s Concentra segment for the periods presented begins as of June 1, 2015, which is the date the Concentra acquisition was consummated.

Adjusted EBITDA is used by Select Medical to report its segment performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, 
gain (loss) on early retirement of debt, stock compensation expense, acquisition costs associated with Concentra, Physiotherapy and U.S. HealthWorks, non-operating gain (loss) 
and equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries. Refer to Item 6 and Item 7 of Form 10-K for further consideration of Adjusted EBITDA as a Non-GAAP measure.

Forward-Looking Statements

This annual report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements 
that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking 
statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” 
“anticipate,” “plan,” “target,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” and similar expressions. These statements include, among others, statements 
regarding our expected business outlook, anticipated financial and operating results, our business strategy and means to implement our 
strategy, our objectives, the amount and timing of capital expenditures, the likelihood of our success in expanding our business, financing 
plans, budgets, working capital needs, and sources of liquidity.

Forward-looking  statements  are  only  predictions  and  are  not  guarantees  of  performance.  These  statements  are  based  on  our 
management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information. Important assumptions relating to 
the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding our services, the expansion of our services, competitive 
conditions, and general economic conditions. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Forward-looking statements also involve known 
and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking 
statement. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

Item 1.    Business.

Overview

We began operations in 1997 and, based on the number of facilities, are one of the largest operators of critical illness recovery 
hospitals (previously referred to as long term acute care hospitals), rehabilitation hospitals (previously referred to as inpatient 
rehabilitation facilities), outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and occupational health centers in the United States. As of December 31, 
2018, we had operations in 47 states and the District of Columbia. As of December 31, 2018, we operated 96 critical illness 
recovery hospitals in 27 states, 26 rehabilitation hospitals in 11 states, and 1,662 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 37 states and 
the District of Columbia.  As of December 31, 2018, Concentra, a joint venture subsidiary, operated 524 occupational health centers 
in 41 states. Concentra also provides contract services at employer worksites and Department of Veterans Affairs community-
based outpatient clinics (“CBOCs”).

We manage our Company through four business segments: our critical illness recovery hospital segment, our rehabilitation 
hospital segment, our outpatient rehabilitation segment, and our Concentra segment. We had net operating revenues of $5,081.3 
million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Of this total, we earned approximately 34% of our net operating revenues from 
our critical illness recovery hospital segment, approximately 14% from our rehabilitation hospital segment, approximately 21%
from our outpatient rehabilitation segment, and approximately 31% from our Concentra segment. Our critical illness recovery 
hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve the needs of patients recovering from critical illnesses, often with complex 
medical needs, and our rehabilitation hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve patients that require intensive physical 
rehabilitation care. Patients are typically admitted to our critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals from general 
acute care hospitals. Our outpatient rehabilitation segment consists of clinics that provide physical, occupational, and speech 
rehabilitation services. Our Concentra segment consists of occupational health centers and contract services provided at employer 
worksites that deliver occupational medicine, physical therapy, and consumer health services. Additionally, our Concentra segment 
delivers veteran’s healthcare through its Department of Veterans Affairs CBOCs. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations” and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 
11. Segment Information” beginning on F-35 for financial information for each of our segments for the past three fiscal years,
which have been recast to reflect the current reportable segment structure of our Company.

Critical Illness Recovery Hospitals

We are a leading operator of critical illness recovery hospitals in the United States, which are certified by Medicare as long 
term care hospitals (“LTCHs”). As of December 31, 2018, we operated 96 critical illness recovery hospitals in 27 states. For the 
years ended December 31, 2016, 2017, and 2018, approximately 53%, 52% and 51%, respectively, of the net operating revenues 
of our critical illness recovery hospital segment came from Medicare reimbursement. This percentage declined in 2018 as compared 
to the prior year because of the changes we implemented at critical illness recovery hospitals operating under Medicare patient 
criteria as LTCHs, which have resulted in lower Medicare patient volume. As of December 31, 2018, we employed approximately 
13,500 people in our critical illness recovery hospital segment, consisting primarily of registered nurses, respiratory therapists, 
physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists.

We operate the majority of our critical illness recovery hospitals as a hospital within a hospital (an “HIH”).  A critical illness 
recovery hospital that operates as an HIH leases space from a general acute care hospital, or “host hospital,” and operates as a 
separately licensed hospital within the host hospital, or on the same campus as the host hospital. In contrast, a free-standing critical 
illness recovery hospital does not operate on a host hospital campus. We owned 96 critical illness recovery hospitals at December 31, 
2018, of which 71 were operated as HIHs and 25 were operated as free-standing hospitals.

Patients are typically admitted to our critical illness recovery hospitals from general acute care hospitals, likely following 
an intensive care unit stay, suffering from chronic critical illness. These patients have highly specialized needs, with serious and 
complex medical conditions involving multiple organ systems. These conditions are often a result of complications related to heart 
failure, complex infectious disease, respiratory failure and pulmonary disease, complex surgery requiring prolonged recovery, 
renal disease, neurological events, and trauma. Given their complex medical needs, these patients require a longer length of stay 
than patients in a general acute care hospital and benefit from being treated in a critical illness recovery hospital that is designed 
to meet their unique medical needs. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the average length of stay for patients in our critical 
illness recovery hospitals was 28 days.

3

Additionally, we continually seek to increase our admissions by demonstrating our quality outcomes and, by doing so, 
expanding and improving our relationships with the physicians and general acute care hospitals in the markets where we operate. 
We maintain a strong focus on the provision of high-quality medical care within our facilities. The Joint Commission (“TJC”) and 
DNV  GL  Healthcare  USA,  Inc.  (“DNV”)  are  independent,  not-for-profit  organizations  that  establish  standards  related  to  the 
operation and management of healthcare facilities. As of December 31, 2018, we operated 96 critical illness recovery hospitals, 
95 of which were accredited by TJC. One of our critical illness recovery hospitals was accredited by DNV.  Also as of December 31, 
2018, all of our critical illness recovery hospitals were certified as LTCHs. Each of our critical illness recovery hospitals must 
regularly demonstrate to a survey team conformance to the applicable standards established by TJC, DNV or the Medicare program, 
as applicable.

When a patient is referred to one of our critical illness recovery hospitals by a physician, case manager, discharge planner, 
or payor, a clinical assessment is performed to determine patient eligibility for admission. Based on the determinations reached 
in this clinical assessment, an admission decision is made.

Upon  admission,  an  interdisciplinary  team  meets  to  perform  a  comprehensive  review  of  the  patient’s  condition. The 
interdisciplinary team is composed of a number of clinicians and may include any or all of the following: an attending physician; 
a registered nurse; a physical, occupational, and speech therapist; a respiratory therapist; a dietitian; a pharmacist; and a case 
manager.  Upon completion of an initial evaluation by each member of the treatment team, an individualized treatment plan is 
established and immediately initiated. Case management coordinates all aspects of the patient’s hospital stay and serves as a 
liaison to the insurance carrier’s case management staff as appropriate. The case manager specifically communicates clinical 
progress, resource utilization, and treatment goals to the patient, the treatment team, and the payor.

Each of our critical illness recovery hospitals has a distinct medical staff that is composed of physicians from multiple 
specialties that have successfully completed the required privileging and credentialing process. In general, physicians on the 
medical staff are not directly employed but are more commonly independent, practicing at multiple hospitals in the community. 
Attending physicians conduct daily rounds on their patients while consulting physicians provide consulting services based on 
the specific medical needs of our patients. Each critical illness recovery hospital develops on-call arrangements with individual 
physicians to ensure that a physician is available to care for our patients. When determining the appropriate composition of the 
medical staff of a critical illness recovery hospital, we consider the size of the critical illness recovery hospital, services provided 
by the critical illness recovery hospital, if applicable, the size and capabilities of the medical staff of the general acute care 
hospital that hosts that HIH and, if applicable, the proximity of an acute care hospital to the free-standing critical illness recovery 
hospital. The medical staff of each of our critical illness recovery hospitals meets the applicable requirements set forth by 
Medicare, the hospital’s applicable accrediting organizations, and the state in which that critical illness recovery hospital is 
located.

Our critical illness recovery hospital segment is led by a president & chief operating officer, chief medical officer, and 
chief quality officer. Each of our critical illness recovery hospitals has an onsite management team consisting of a chief executive 
officer, a medical director, a chief nursing officer, and a director of business development. These teams manage local strategy 
and day-to-day operations, including oversight of clinical care and treatment. They also assume primary responsibility for 
developing relationships with the general acute care providers and clinicians in the local areas we serve that refer patients to 
our critical illness recovery hospitals. We provide our critical illness recovery hospitals with centralized accounting, treasury, 
payroll, legal, operational support, human resources, compliance, management information systems, and billing and collection 
services. The centralization of these services improves efficiency and permits staff at our critical illness recovery hospitals to 
focus their time on patient care.

For a description of government regulations and Medicare payments made to our critical illness recovery hospitals, see “—
Government  Regulations”  and  “Management’s  Discussion  and Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations—
Regulatory Changes.”

Critical Illness Recovery Hospital Strategy

The key elements of our critical illness recovery hospital strategy are to:

Focus  on  Specialized  Inpatient  Services.  We  serve  highly  acute  patients  and  patients  with  debilitating  injuries  and 
rehabilitation needs that cannot be adequately cared for in a less medically intensive environment, such as a skilled nursing 
facility. Chronically critically ill patients admitted to our critical illness recovery hospitals require long stays, benefiting from 
a more specialized and targeted clinical approach. Our care model is distinct from what patients experience in general acute 
care hospitals.

4

Provide High-Quality Care and Service. Our critical illness recovery hospitals serve a critical role in comprehensive 
healthcare  delivery. Through  our  specialized  treatment  programs  and  staffing  models,  we  treat  patients  with  acute,  highly 
complex, and specialized medical needs. Our treatment programs focus on specific patient needs and medical conditions, such 
as  ventilator  weaning  protocols,  comprehensive  wound  care  assessments  and  treatment  protocols,  medication  review  and 
antibiotic stewardship, infection control prevention, and customized mobility, speech, and swallow programs.  Our staffing 
models ensure that patients have the appropriate clinical resources over the course of their stay. We maintain quality assurance 
programs  to  support  and  monitor  quality  of  care  standards  and  to  meet  regulatory  requirements  and  maintain  Medicare 
certifications. We believe that we are recognized for providing quality care and service, which helps develop brand loyalty in 
the local areas we serve.

Our  treatment  programs  are  continuously  reassessed  and  updated  based  on  peer-reviewed  literature.  This  approach 
provides our clinicians access to the best practices and protocols that we have found to be effective in treating various conditions 
in this population such as respiratory failure, non-healing wounds, brain injury, renal dysfunction, and complex infectious 
diseases. In addition, we customize these programs to provide a treatment plan tailored to meet our patients’ unique needs. The 
collaborative team-based approach coupled with the intense focus on patient safety and quality affords these highly complex 
patients the best opportunity to recover from catastrophic illness. This comprehensive care model is ultimately measured by 
the functional recovery of each of our patients.

The quality of the patient care we provide is continually monitored using several measures, including clinical outcomes 
data and analyses and patient satisfaction surveys. Quality metrics from our critical illness recovery hospitals are used to create 
monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting for our leadership team. In order to benchmark ourselves against other hospitals, we 
collect our clinical and patient satisfaction information and compare it to national standards and the results of other healthcare 
organizations. We are required to report quality measures to individual states based on unique requirements and laws. We also 
submit  required  quality  data  elements  to  the  Center  for  Medicare  &  Medicaid  Services  (“CMS”).  See  “—Government 
Regulations—Other Medicare Regulations—Medicare Quality Reporting.”

Control Operating Costs. We continually seek to improve operating efficiency and control costs at our critical illness 

recovery hospitals by standardizing operations and centralizing key administrative functions. These initiatives include:

•

•

•

centralizing administrative functions such as accounting, finance, treasury, payroll, legal, operational support, human
resources, compliance, and billing and collection;

standardizing management information systems to assist in capturing the medical record, accounting, billing,
collections, and data capture and analysis; and

centralizing sourcing and contracting to receive discounted prices for pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and
other commodities used in our operations.

Increase Commercial Volume. We have focused on continued expansion of our relationships with commercial insurers to 
increase our volume of patients with commercial insurance in our critical illness recovery hospitals. We believe that commercial 
payors seek to contract with our hospitals because we offer our patients high-quality, cost-effective care at more attractive rates 
than general acute care hospitals. We also offer commercial enrollees customized treatment programs not typically offered in 
general acute care hospitals.

Pursue Opportunistic Acquisitions. We may grow our network of critical illness recovery hospitals through opportunistic 
acquisitions. When we acquire a critical illness recovery hospital or a group of related facilities, a team of our professionals is 
responsible for formulating and executing an integration plan. We seek to improve financial performance at such facilities by 
adding clinical programs that attract commercial payors, centralizing administrative functions, and implementing our standardized 
resource management programs.

Rehabilitation Hospitals

Our rehabilitation hospitals provide comprehensive physical medicine, as well as rehabilitation programs and services, which 
serve to optimize patient health, function, and quality of life in the United States. As of December 31, 2018, we operated 26
rehabilitation hospitals in 11 states. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017, and 2018, approximately 38%, 42% and 42%, 
respectively,  of  the  net  operating  revenues  of  our  rehabilitation  hospital  segment  came  from  Medicare  reimbursement. As  of 
December 31, 2018, we employed approximately 10,100 people in our rehabilitation hospital segment, consisting primarily of 
registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, neuropsychologists, and 
other psychologists.

5

Patients at our rehabilitation hospitals have specialized needs, with serious and often complex medical conditions requiring 
rehabilitative healthcare services in an inpatient setting. These conditions require targeted therapy and rehabilitation treatment, 
including comprehensive rehabilitative services for brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes, amputations, neurological disorders, 
orthopedic conditions, pediatric congenital or acquired disabilities, and cancer. Given their complex medical needs and gradual 
and prolonged recovery, these patients generally require a longer length of stay than patients in a general acute care hospital. For 
the year ended December 31, 2018, the average length of stay for patients in our rehabilitation hospitals was 14 days.

Additionally, we continually seek to increase our admissions by demonstrating our quality outcomes and, by doing so, 
expanding and improving our relationships with the physicians and general acute care hospitals in the markets where we operate. 
We maintain a strong focus on the provision of high-quality medical care within our facilities. As of December 31, 2018, we 
operated 26 rehabilitation hospitals, 25 of which were accredited by TJC. One of our rehabilitation hospitals was accredited by 
DNV.  Also  as  of  December 31,  2018,  all  of  our  rehabilitation  hospitals  were  certified  as  Medicare  providers  as  inpatient 
rehabilitation  facilities  (“IRFs”).  12  of  our  rehabilitation  hospitals  also  received  accreditation  from  the  Commission  on 
Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (“CARF”), an independent, not-for-profit organization that establishes standards related 
to the operation of medical rehabilitation facilities. Each of our rehabilitation hospitals must regularly demonstrate to a survey 
team conformance to the applicable standards established by TJC, DNV, the Medicare program, or CARF, as applicable.

When a patient is referred to one of our rehabilitation hospitals by a physician, case manager, discharge planner, health 
maintenance organization, or insurance company, we perform a clinical assessment of the patient to determine if the patient meets 
criteria for admission. Based on the determinations reached in this clinical assessment, an admission decision is made.

Upon admission, an interdisciplinary team reviews a new patient’s condition. The interdisciplinary team is composed of a 
number of clinicians and may include any or all of the following: an attending physician; a registered nurse; a physical, occupational, 
and speech therapist; a respiratory therapist; a dietitian; a pharmacist; and a case manager. Upon completion of an initial evaluation 
by  each  member  of  the  treatment  team,  an  individualized  treatment  plan  is  established  and  implemented. The  case  manager 
coordinates all aspects of the patient’s hospital stay and serves as a liaison with the insurance carrier’s case management staff 
when appropriate. The case manager communicates progress, resource utilization, and treatment goals between the patient, the 
treatment team, and the payor.

Each of our rehabilitation hospitals has a multi-specialty medical staff that is composed of physicians who have completed 
the privileging and credentialing process required by that rehabilitation hospital and have been approved by the governing board 
of that rehabilitation hospital. Physicians on the medical staff of our rehabilitation hospitals are generally not directly employed 
by our rehabilitation hospitals, but instead have staff privileges at one or more hospitals. At each of our rehabilitation hospitals, 
attending physicians conduct rounds on their patients on a regular basis and consulting physicians provide consulting services 
based on the medical needs of our patients. Our rehabilitation hospitals also have on-call arrangements with physicians to ensure 
that a physician is available to care for our patients. We staff our rehabilitation hospitals with the number of physicians, therapists, 
and other medical practitioners that we believe is appropriate to address the varying needs of our patients. When determining the 
appropriate composition of the medical staff of a rehabilitation hospital, we consider the size of the rehabilitation hospital, services 
provided by the rehabilitation hospital, and, if applicable, the proximity of an acute care hospital to the free-standing rehabilitation 
hospital. The medical staff of each of our rehabilitation hospitals meets the applicable requirements set forth by Medicare, the 
facility’s applicable accrediting organizations, and the state in which that rehabilitation hospital is located.

Our rehabilitation hospital segment is led by a president, chief operating officer, national medical director, chief academic 
officer, and chief quality officer.  Each of our rehabilitation hospitals has an onsite management team consisting of a chief executive 
officer, a medical director, a chief nursing officer, a director of therapy services, and a director of business development. These 
teams manage local strategy and day-to-day operations, including oversight of clinical care and treatment. They also assume 
primary responsibility for developing relationships with the general acute care providers and clinicians in the local areas we serve 
that refer patients to our rehabilitation hospitals. We provide our facilities within our rehabilitation hospital segment with centralized 
accounting, treasury, payroll, legal, operational support, human resources, compliance, management information systems, and 
billing and collection services. The centralization of these services improves efficiency and permits the staff at our rehabilitation 
hospitals to focus their time on patient care.

For a description of government regulations and Medicare payments made to our rehabilitation hospitals, see “—Government 
Regulations”  and  “Management’s  Discussion  and Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations—Regulatory 
Changes.”

Rehabilitation Hospital Strategy

The key elements of our rehabilitation hospital strategy are to:

Focus on Specialized Inpatient Services. We serve patients with debilitating injuries and rehabilitation needs that cannot be 
adequately  cared  for  in  a  less  medically  intensive  environment,  such  as  a  skilled  nursing  facility.  Generally,  patients  in  our 
rehabilitation hospitals require longer stays and can benefit from more specialized and intensive clinical care than patients treated 
in general acute care hospitals and require more intensive therapy than that provided in outpatient rehabilitation clinics.

Provide  High-Quality  Care  and  Service. Our  rehabilitation  hospitals  serve  a  critical  role  in  comprehensive  healthcare 
delivery. Through our specialized treatment programs and staffing models, we treat patients with complex and specialized medical 
needs. Our specialized treatment programs focus on specific patient needs and medical conditions, such as rehabilitation programs 
for brain trauma and spinal cord injuries. We also focus on specific programs of care designed to restore strength, improve physical 
and cognitive function, and promote independence in activities of daily living for patients who have suffered complications from 
strokes,  amputations,  cancer,  and  neurological  and  orthopedic  conditions.  Our  staffing  models  ensure  that  patients  have  the 
appropriate clinical resources over the course of their stay. We maintain quality assurance programs to support and monitor quality 
of care standards and to meet regulatory requirements and maintain Medicare certifications. We believe that we are recognized 
for providing quality care and service, which helps develop brand loyalty in the local areas we serve.

Our treatment programs, which are continuously reassessed and updated, benefit patients because they give our clinicians 
access to the best practices and protocols that we have found to be most effective in treating various conditions such as brain and 
spinal cord injuries, strokes, and neuromuscular disorders. In addition, we combine or modify these programs to provide a treatment 
plan tailored to meet our patients’ unique needs. We measure the outcomes and successes of our patients’ recovery in order to 
provide the best possible patient care and service.

The quality of the patient care we provide is continually monitored using several measures, including clinical outcomes 
data and analyses and patient satisfaction surveys. Quality metrics from our rehabilitation hospitals are used to create monthly, 
quarterly, and annual reporting for our leadership team. In order to benchmark ourselves against other hospitals, we collect our 
clinical and patient satisfaction information and compare it to national standards and the results of other healthcare organizations. 
We are required to report quality measures to individual states based on unique requirements and laws. We also submit required 
quality data elements to CMS. See “—Government Regulations—Other Medicare Regulations—Medicare Quality Reporting.”

Control Operating Costs. We continually seek to improve operating efficiency and control costs at our rehabilitation hospitals 

by standardizing operations and centralizing key administrative functions. These initiatives include:

•

•

•

centralizing administrative functions such as accounting, finance, treasury, payroll, legal, operational support, human
resources, compliance, and billing and collection;

standardizing management information systems to assist in capturing the medical record, accounting, billing,
collections, and data capture and analysis; and

centralizing sourcing and contracting to receive discounted prices for pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and other
commodities used in our operations.

Increase Commercial Volume. We have focused on continued expansion of our relationships with commercial insurers to 
increase our volume of patients with commercial insurance in our rehabilitation hospitals. We believe that commercial payors seek 
to contract with our rehabilitation hospitals because we offer our patients high-quality, cost-effective care at more attractive rates 
than general acute care hospitals. We also offer commercial enrollees customized and comprehensive rehabilitation treatment 
programs not typically offered in general acute care hospitals.

Develop  Rehabilitation  Hospitals  through  Pursuing  Joint  Ventures  with  Large  Healthcare  Systems. By  leveraging  the 
experience of our senior management and development team, we believe that we are well positioned to expand our portfolio of 
joint ventured operations. When we identify joint venture opportunities, our development team conducts an extensive review of 
the area’s referral patterns and commercial insurance rates to determine the general reimbursement trends and payor mix. Once 
discussions commence with a healthcare system, we refine the specific needs of a joint venture, which could include working 
capital, the construction of new space, or the leasing and renovation of existing space. A joint venture typically consists of us and 
the healthcare system contributing certain post-acute care businesses into a newly formed entity. We typically function as the 
manager and hold either a majority or minority ownership interest. We bring clinical expertise and clinical programs that attract 
commercial payors and implement our standardized resource management programs, which may improve the clinical outcome 
and enhance the financial performance of the joint venture.

7

Pursue Opportunistic Acquisitions. We may grow our network of rehabilitation hospitals through opportunistic acquisitions. 
When we acquire a rehabilitation hospital or a group of related facilities, a team of our professionals is responsible for formulating 
and executing an integration plan. We seek to improve financial performance at such facilities by adding clinical programs that 
attract  commercial  payors,  centralizing  administrative  functions,  and  implementing  our  standardized  resource  management 
programs.

Outpatient Rehabilitation

We are the largest operator of outpatient rehabilitation clinics in the United States based on number of facilities, with 1,662 
facilities throughout 37 states and the District of Columbia as of December 31, 2018. Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics are 
typically located in a medical complex or retail location. Our outpatient rehabilitation segment employed approximately 10,400 
people as of December 31, 2018.

In our outpatient rehabilitation clinics, we provide physical, occupational, and speech rehabilitation programs and services. 
We also provide certain specialized programs such as functional programs for work related injuries, hand therapy, post-concussion 
rehabilitation,  and  athletic  training  services.  The  typical  patient  in  one  of  our  outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics  suffers  from 
musculoskeletal impairments that restrict his or her ability to perform normal activities of daily living. These impairments are 
often associated with accidents, sports injuries, work related injuries, or post-operative orthopedic and other medical conditions. 
Our rehabilitation programs and services are designed to help these patients minimize physical and cognitive impairments and 
maximize functional ability. We also provide services designed to prevent short term disabilities from becoming chronic conditions. 
Our rehabilitation services are provided by our professionals including licensed physical therapists, occupational therapists, and 
speech-language pathologists.

Outpatient rehabilitation patients are generally referred or directed to our clinics by a physician, employer, or health insurer 
who believes that a patient, employee, or member can benefit from the level of therapy we provide in an outpatient setting. In 
recent years, a number of states have enacted laws that allow individuals to seek outpatient physical rehabilitation services without 
a physician order. Currently, this population of patients is not significant. In our outpatient rehabilitation segment, for the year 
ended December 31, 2018, approximately 84% of our net operating revenues come from commercial payors, including healthcare 
insurers, managed care organizations, workers’ compensation programs, contract management services, and private pay sources. 
We believe that our services are attractive to healthcare payors who are seeking to provide high-quality and cost-effective care to 
their enrollees. The balance of our reimbursement is derived from Medicare and other government sponsored programs.

For a description of government regulations and Medicare payments made to our outpatient rehabilitation services, see “—
Government  Regulations”  and  “Management’s  Discussion  and Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations—
Regulatory Changes.”

Outpatient Rehabilitation Strategy

The key elements of our outpatient rehabilitation strategy are to:

Provide High-Quality Care and Service. We are focused on providing a high level of service to our patients throughout their 
entire course of treatment. To measure satisfaction with our service we have developed surveys for both patients and physicians. 
Our clinics utilize the feedback from these surveys to continuously refine and improve service levels. We believe that by focusing 
on quality care and offering a high level of customer service we develop brand loyalty which allows us to strengthen our relationships 
with referring physicians, employers, and health insurers to drive additional patient volume.

Increase Market Share. We strive to establish a leading presence within the local areas we serve. To increase our presence, 
we seek to open new clinics in our existing markets. This allows us to realize economies of scale, heightened brand loyalty, and 
workforce continuity. We also focus on increasing our workers’ compensation and commercial/managed care payor mix.

Expand Rehabilitation Programs and Services. Through our local clinical directors of operations and clinic managers within 
their service areas, we assess the healthcare needs of the areas we serve. Based on these assessments, we implement additional 
programs and services specifically targeted to meet demand in the local community. In designing these programs we benefit from 
the knowledge we gain through our national network of clinics. This knowledge is used to design programs that optimize treatment 
methods and measure changes in health status, clinical outcomes, and patient satisfaction.

8

Optimize  Payor  Contract  Reimbursements. We  review  payor  contracts  scheduled  for  renewal  and  potential  new  payor 
contracts to assure reasonable reimbursements for the services we provide. Before we enter into a new contract with a commercial 
payor, we evaluate it with the aid of our contract management system. We assess the reasonableness of the reimbursements by 
evaluating past and projected patient volume and clinic capacity. We create a retention strategy for the top performing contracts 
and a renegotiation strategy for contracts that do not meet our defined criteria. We believe that our national footprint and our strong 
reputation enable us to negotiate favorable reimbursement rates with commercial insurers.

Maintain Strong Community and Employee Relations. We believe that the relationships between our employees and the 
referral sources in their communities are critical to our success. Our referral sources, such as physicians and healthcare case 
managers, send their patients to our clinics based on three factors: the quality of our care, the customer service we provide, and 
their familiarity with our therapists. We seek to retain and motivate our therapists by implementing a performance-based bonus 
program, a defined career path with the ability to be promoted from within, timely communication on company developments, 
and  internal  training  programs. We  also  focus  on  empowering  our  employees  by  giving  them  a  high  degree  of  autonomy  in 
determining local area strategy. We seek to identify therapists who are potential business leaders. This management approach 
reflects the unique nature of each local area in which we operate and the importance of encouraging our employees to assume 
responsibility for their clinic’s financial and operational performance.

Pursue Opportunistic Acquisitions. We may grow our network of outpatient rehabilitation facilities through opportunistic 
acquisitions. We believe our size and centralized infrastructure allow us to take advantage of operational efficiencies and improve 
financial performance at acquired facilities.

Concentra

We are the largest provider of occupational health services in the United States based on the number of facilities. As of 
December 31,  2018,  we  operated  524  occupational  health  centers,  124  onsite  clinics  at  employer  worksites,  and  31  CBOCs 
throughout 44 states. In some of our occupational health centers we also provide urgent care services. On February 1, 2018, we 
acquired U.S HealthWorks, an occupational medicine and urgent care service provider, as part of our Concentra segment. We 
deliver occupational medicine, consumer health, physical therapy, and veteran’s healthcare services in our occupational health 
centers, onsite clinics located at the workplaces of our employer customers, and our CBOCs. Our Concentra segment employed 
approximately 11,200 people as of December 31, 2018.

We offer a range of occupational and consumer health services through our occupational health centers and onsite clinics. 
Occupational health services include workers’ compensation injury care as well as employer services, clinical testing, wellness 
programs, and preventative care. Our services at the CBOCs include primary care, specialty care, sub-specialty care, mental health, 
and  pharmacy  benefits.  Consumer  health  consists  of  non-employer,  patient-directed  treatment  of  injuries  and  illnesses.  Our 
consumer health service offerings include urgent care, wellness programs, and preventative care.

Occupational medicine refers to the diagnosis and treatment of work-related injuries (workers’ compensation), compliance 
services, such as preventive services, including pre-employment, fitness-for-duty, and post-accident physical examinations and 
substance abuse screening. Utilization is driven by the needs of labor-intensive industries such as transportation, distribution/
warehousing, manufacturing, construction, healthcare, police/fire, and other occupations that have historically posed a higher than 
average risk of workplace injury or that require a workplace physical. Workers’ compensation is the form of insurance that provides 
medical coverage to employees with work-related illnesses or injuries.

Workers’ compensation is administered on a state-by-state basis and each state is responsible for implementing and regulating 
its own workers’ compensation program. Because workers’ compensation benefits are mandated by law and subject to extensive 
regulation, insurers, third-party administrators, and employers do not have the same flexibility to alter benefits as they have with 
other health benefit programs. In addition, because programs vary by state, it is difficult for insurance companies and multi-state 
employers to adopt uniform policies to administer, manage, and control the costs of benefits across states. As a result, managing 
the cost of workers’ compensation requires approaches that are tailored to the specific regulatory environments in which the 
employer operates. For the year ended December 31, 2018, approximately 58% of our Concentra segment operating revenues 
came from workers’ compensation payments.

Acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks

On February 1, 2018, pursuant to the terms of the Equity Purchase and Contribution Agreement, dated October 22, 2017 
with  Concentra,  Concentra  Group  Holdings  Parent,  U.S.  HealthWorks  (“U.S.  Healthworks”)  and  Dignity  Health  Holding 
Corporation (“DHHC”), Concentra acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of U.S. HealthWorks, an occupational 
medicine and urgent care service provider. Concentra acquired U.S. HealthWorks for $753.6 million. DHHC, a subsidiary of 
Dignity Health, was issued a 20% equity interest in Concentra Group Holdings Parent, which was valued at $238.0 million. The 
remainder of the purchase price was paid in cash. Select currently retains a majority voting interest in Concentra Group Holdings 
Parent.

Concentra used borrowings under its first lien credit agreement and its second lien credit agreement, together with cash on 
hand, to pay the cash purchase price for all of the issued and outstanding stock of U.S. HealthWorks to DHHC, to finance the 
redemption and reorganization transactions executed under the Purchase Agreement, and to pay fees and expenses associated with 
the financing. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Commitments and 
Contingencies” for a description of Concentra’s indebtedness arrangements.

Concentra Strategy

The key elements of our Concentra strategy are to:

Provide  High-Quality  Care  and  Service. We  strive  to  provide  a  high  level  of  service  to  our  patients  and  our  employer 
customers. We measure and monitor patient and employer satisfaction and focus on treatment programs to provide the best clinical 
outcomes in a consistent manner. Our programs and services have proven that aggressive treatment and management of workers 
injuries can more rapidly restore employees to better health which reduces workers’ compensation indemnity claim costs for our 
employer customers.

Focus on  Occupational Medicine. Our  history  as  an  industry  leader in the provision  of  occupational medicine  services 
provides the platform for Concentra to grow this service offering. Complementary service offerings help drive additional growth 
in this business line.

Pursue Direct Employer Relationships. We believe we provide occupational health services in a cost-effective manner to 
our employer customers. By establishing direct relationships with these customers, we seek to reduce overall costs of their workers’ 
compensation claims, while improving employee health, and getting their employees back to work faster.

Increase Presence in the Areas We Serve. We strive to establish a strong presence within the local areas we serve. To increase 
our presence, we seek to expand our services and programs and to open new occupational health centers and employer onsite 
locations. This allows us to realize economies of scale, heightened brand loyalty, and workforce continuity.

Pursue  Opportunistic Acquisitions. We  may  grow  our  network  and  expand  our  geographic  reach  through  opportunistic 
acquisitions, such as the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks. We believe our size and centralized infrastructure allow us to take 
advantage of operational efficiencies and improve financial performance at acquired facilities.

Other

Other activities include our corporate services and certain other minority investments in other healthcare related businesses. 
These include investments in companies that provide specialized technology and services to healthcare entities, as well as providers 
of complementary services.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that the success of our business model is based on a number of competitive strengths, including our position as 
a leading operator in each of our business segments, our proven financial performance, our strong cash flow, our significant scale, 
our experience in completing and integrating acquisitions, our partnerships with large healthcare systems, our ability to capitalize 
on consolidation opportunities, and our experienced management team.

10

Leading Operator in Distinct but Complementary Lines of Business. We believe that we are a leading operator in our business 
segments based on number of facilities in the United States. Our leadership position and reputation as a high-quality, cost-effective 
healthcare provider in each of our business segments allows us to attract patients and employees, aids us in our marketing efforts 
to referral sources, and helps us negotiate payor contracts. In our critical illness recovery hospital segment, we operated 96 critical 
illness recovery hospitals in 27 states as of December 31, 2018. In our rehabilitation hospital segment, we operated 26 rehabilitation 
hospitals in 11 states as of December 31, 2018. In our outpatient rehabilitation segment, we operated 1,662 outpatient rehabilitation 
clinics in 37 states and the District of Columbia as of December 31, 2018.  In our Concentra segment, we operated 524 occupational 
health centers in 41 states as of December 31, 2018. With these leading positions in the areas we serve, we believe that we are 
well-positioned to benefit from the rising demand for medical services due to an aging population in the United States, which will 
drive growth across our business segments.

Proven  Financial  Performance  and  Strong  Cash  Flow. We  have  established  a  track  record  of  improving  the  financial 
performance of our facilities due to our disciplined approach to revenue growth, expense management, and focus on free cash 
flow generation. This includes regular review of specific financial metrics of our business to determine trends in our revenue 
generation, expenses, billing, and cash collection. Based on the ongoing analysis of such trends, we make adjustments to our 
operations to optimize our financial performance and cash flow.

Significant Scale. By building significant scale in each of our business segments, we have been able to leverage our operating 

costs by centralizing administrative functions at our corporate office.

Experience  in  Successfully  Completing  and  Integrating  Acquisitions.  Since  our  inception  in  1997  through  2018,  we 
completed  ten  significant  acquisitions  for  approximately  $3.32 billion,  which  includes  $418.6 million  paid  to  acquire 
Physiotherapy, $1.05 billion paid to acquire Concentra, and $753.6 million paid to acquire U.S. HealthWorks. We believe that we 
have improved the operating performance of these businesses over time by applying our standard operating practices and by 
realizing efficiencies from our centralized operations and management.

Experience in Partnering with Large Healthcare Systems. Over the past several years we have partnered with large healthcare 
systems to provide post-acute care services. We believe that we provide operating expertise to these ventures through our experience 
in operating critical illness recovery hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, and outpatient rehabilitation facilities and have improved 
and expanded the level of post-acute care services provided in these communities, as well as the financial performance of these 
operations.

Well-Positioned  to  Capitalize  on  Consolidation  Opportunities. We  believe  that  we  are  well-positioned  to  capitalize  on 
consolidation opportunities within each of our business segments and selectively augment our internal growth. We believe that 
each of our business segments is largely fragmented, with many of the nation’s critical illness recovery hospitals, rehabilitation 
hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation facilities, and occupational health centers operated by independent operators lacking national 
or broad regional scope. With our geographically diversified portfolio of facilities in the United States, we believe that our footprint 
provides us with a wide-ranging perspective on multiple potential acquisition opportunities.

Experienced and Proven Management Team. Prior to co-founding our company with our current Executive Chairman and 
Co-Founder, our Vice Chairman and Co-Founder founded and operated three other healthcare companies focused on inpatient and 
outpatient  rehabilitation  services. The  other  members  of  our  senior  management  team  also  have  extensive  experience  in  the 
healthcare industry, with an average of almost 25 years in the business. In recent years, we have reorganized our operations to 
expand executive talent and ensure management continuity.

Government Sources

Medicare is a federal program that provides medical insurance benefits to persons age 65 and over, some disabled persons, 
and persons with end-stage renal disease. Medicaid is a federal-state funded program, administered by the states, which provides 
medical benefits to individuals who are unable to afford healthcare. As of December 31, 2018, we operated 96 critical illness 
recovery hospitals, all of which were certified by Medicare as LTCHs. Also as of December 31, 2018, we operated 26 rehabilitation 
hospitals, all of which were certified by Medicare as IRFs . Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics regularly receive Medicare payments 
for their services. Our Concentra segment receives payments from the Department of Veterans Affairs and other governmental 
programs. Additionally, many of our critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals participate in state Medicaid 
programs. Amounts received under the Medicare and Medicaid programs are generally less than the customary charges for the 
services provided. In recent years, there have been significant changes made to the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Since a 
significant portion of our revenues come from patients covered under the Medicare program, our ability to operate our business 
successfully in the future will depend in large measure on our ability to adapt to changes in the Medicare program. See “—
Government Regulations—Overview of U.S. and State Government Reimbursements.”

Non-Government Sources

Our non-government sources of net operating revenue include insurance companies, workers’ compensation programs, health 
maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, other managed care companies, and employers, as well as patients 
directly. 

Employees

As of December 31, 2018, we employed approximately 47,100 people throughout the United States. Approximately 33,700
of our employees are full-time and the remaining approximately 13,400 are part-time employees. Our critical illness recovery 
hospital  segment  employees  totaled  approximately  13,500,  rehabilitation  hospital  segment  employees  totaled  approximately 
10,100, outpatient rehabilitation segment employees totaled approximately 10,400, and Concentra segment employees totaled 
approximately 11,200. Approximately 1,900 of the remaining employees performed corporate management, administration, and 
other support services primarily at our Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania headquarters.

Competition

Critical Illness Recovery Hospitals and Rehabilitation Hospitals 

Our critical illness recovery hospitals and our rehabilitation hospitals both compete on the basis of the quality of the patient 
services we provide, the outcomes we achieve for our patients, and the prices we charge for our services. The primary competitive 
factors in both of our critical illness recovery hospital and rehabilitation hospital segments include quality of services, charges for 
services, and responsiveness to the needs of patients, families, payors, and physicians. Other companies operate critical illness 
recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals that compete with our own hospitals, including large operators of similar facilities, 
such as Kindred Healthcare Inc. and Encompass Health Corporation, and rehabilitation units and step-down units operated by 
acute care hospitals in the markets we serve. The competitive position of a critical illness recovery hospital or a rehabilitation 
hospital is also affected by the ability of its management to negotiate contracts with purchasers of group healthcare services, 
including private employers, managed care companies, preferred provider organizations, and health maintenance organizations. 
Such organizations attempt to obtain discounts from established critical illness recovery hospital or rehabilitation hospital charges. 
The  importance  of  obtaining  contracts  with  preferred  provider  organizations,  health  maintenance  organizations,  and  other 
organizations which finance healthcare, and its effect on a critical illness recovery hospital’s or rehabilitation hospital’s competitive 
position, vary from area to area depending on the number and strength of such organizations.

Outpatient Rehabilitation Clinics

Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics face a highly fragmented and competitive environment. The primary competitors that 
provide outpatient rehabilitation services include physician-owned physical therapy clinics, dedicated locally owned and managed 
outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and hospital or university owned or affiliated ventures, as well as national and regional providers 
in select areas, including Athletico Physical Therapy, ATI Physical Therapy, U.S. Physical Therapy, and Upstream Rehabilitation. 
Some of these competing clinics have longer operating histories and greater name recognition in these communities than our 
clinics, and they may have stronger relations with physicians in these communities on whom we rely for patient referrals. Because 
the barriers to entry are not substantial and current customers have the flexibility to move easily to new healthcare service providers, 
we believe that new outpatient physical therapy competitors can emerge relatively quickly.

Concentra

Our Concentra segment’s occupational health services, consumer health, and veteran’s healthcare business face a highly 
fragmented and competitive environment. The primary competitors that provide occupational health services have typically been 
independent physicians, hospital emergency departments, and hospital-owned or hospital-affiliated medical facilities. Because 
the barriers to entry are not substantial and Concentra’s current customers have the flexibility to move easily to new healthcare 
service providers, we believe that new competitors to Concentra can emerge relatively quickly. Furthermore, urgent care clinics 
in the local communities Concentra serves provide services similar to those Concentra offers, and, in some cases, competing 
facilities are more established or newer than Concentra’s, may offer a broader array of services to patients than Concentra’s, and 
may have larger or more specialized medical staffs to treat and serve patients. 

Government Regulations

General

The  healthcare  industry  is  required  to  comply  with  many  complex  laws  and  regulations  at  the  federal,  state,  and  local 
government  levels.  These  laws  and  regulations  require  that  hospitals  and  facilities  furnishing  outpatient  services  (including 
outpatient  rehabilitation  clinics,  Concentra  occupational  health  centers,  onsite  clinics,  and  CBOCs)  comply  with  various 
requirements and standards. These laws and regulations include those relating to the adequacy of medical care, facilities and 
equipment, personnel, operating policies and procedures, and recordkeeping, as well as standards for reimbursement, fraud and 
abuse prevention, and health information privacy and security. These laws and regulations are extremely complex, often overlap 
and, in many instances, the industry does not have the benefit of significant regulatory or judicial interpretation. If we fail to 
comply with applicable laws and regulations, we could suffer civil or criminal penalties, including the loss of our licenses to 
operate and our ability to participate in the Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal and state healthcare programs.

13

Facility Licensure

Our healthcare facilities are subject to state and local licensing statutes and regulations ranging from the adequacy of medical 
care to compliance with building codes and environmental protection laws. In order to assure continued compliance with these 
various  regulations,  governmental  and  other  authorities  periodically  inspect  our  facilities,  both  at  scheduled  intervals  and  in 
response to complaints from patients and others. While our facilities intend to comply with existing licensing standards, there can 
be no assurance that regulatory authorities will determine that all applicable requirements are fully met at any given time. In 
addition, the state and local licensing laws are subject to changes or new interpretations that could impose additional burdens on 
our facilities. A determination by an applicable regulatory authority that a facility is not in compliance with these requirements 
could lead to the imposition of corrective action, assessment of fines and penalties, or loss of licensure, Medicare enrollment, 
certification or accreditation. These consequences could have an adverse effect on our company.

Some states still require us to get approval under certificate of need regulations when we create, acquire, or expand our 
facilities or services, or alter the ownership of such facilities, whether directly or indirectly. The certificate of need regulations 
vary from state to state, and are subject to change and new interpretation. If we fail to show public need and obtain approval in 
these states for our new facilities or changes to the ownership structure of existing facilities, we may be subject to civil or even 
criminal penalties, lose our facility license, or become ineligible for reimbursement.

Professional Licensure, Corporate Practice and Fee-Splitting Laws

Healthcare professionals at our critical illness recovery hospitals, our rehabilitation hospitals, and our facilities furnishing 
outpatient services are required to be individually licensed or certified under applicable state law. We take steps to ensure that our 
employees and agents possess all necessary licenses and certifications.

Some states prohibit the “corporate practice of medicine,” which restricts business corporations from practicing medicine 
through the direct employment of physicians or from exercising control over medical decisions by physicians. Some states similarly 
prohibit the “corporate practice of therapy.” The laws relating to corporate practice vary from state to state and are not fully 
developed in each state in which we have facilities. Typically, however, professional corporations owned and controlled by licensed 
professionals are exempt from corporate practice restrictions and may employ physicians or therapists to furnish professional 
services. Also, in some states, hospitals are permitted to employ physicians.

Some states also prohibit entities from engaging in certain financial arrangements, such as fee-splitting, with physicians or 
therapists. The laws relating to fee-splitting also vary from state to state and are not fully developed. Generally, these laws restrict 
business arrangements that involve a physician or therapist sharing medical fees with a referral source, but in some states these 
laws have been interpreted to extend to management agreements between physicians or therapists and business entities under some 
circumstances.

We believe that each of our facilities, licensed physicians, and therapists comply with any current corporate practice and 
fee-splitting laws of the state in which they are located. In states where we are prohibited by the corporate practice of medicine 
from directly employing licensed physicians, we typically enter into management agreements with professional corporations that 
are owned by licensed physicians, which, in turn, employ or contract with physicians who provide professional medical services 
in our facilities. Under those management agreements, we perform only non-medical administrative services, do not exercise 
control over the practice of medicine by the physicians, and structure compensation to avoid fee-splitting. In those states that apply 
the corporate practice of therapy prohibition, we either contract to obtain therapy services from an entity permitted to employ 
therapists or we manage the physical therapy practice owned by licensed therapists through which the therapy services are provided.

Although we believe that our facilities comply with corporate practice and fee-splitting laws, if new regulations or judicial 
or administrative interpretations establish that our facilities do not comply with these laws, we could be subject to civil and perhaps 
criminal penalties. In addition, if any of our facilities is determined not to comply with corporate practice and fee-splitting laws, 
certain of our agreements relating to the facility may be determined to be unenforceable, including our management agreements 
with the professional corporations furnishing physician services or our payment arrangements with insurers or employers. Future 
interpretations of corporate practice and fee-splitting laws, the enactment of new legislation, or the adoption of new regulations 
relating to these laws could cause us to have to restructure our business operations or close our facilities in a particular state. Any 
such penalties, determinations of unenforceability, or interpretations could have a material adverse effect on our business.

14

Medicare Enrollment and Certification

In order to participate in the Medicare program and receive Medicare reimbursement, each facility must comply with the 
applicable regulations of the United States Department of Health and Human Services relating to, among other things, the type 
of facility, its equipment, its personnel, and its standards of medical care, as well as compliance with all applicable state and local 
laws and regulations. As of December 31, 2018, all of the critical illness recovery hospitals we operated were certified by Medicare 
as LTCHs.  As of December 31, 2018, all of the rehabilitation hospitals we operated were certified by Medicare as IRFs. In addition, 
we provide the majority of our outpatient rehabilitation services through outpatient rehabilitation clinics certified by Medicare as 
rehabilitation agencies or “rehab agencies,” which operate as outpatient rehabilitation providers for the purposes of the Medicare 
program. Our Concentra occupational health centers furnishing outpatient services are generally enrolled in Medicare as suppliers.

Accreditation

Our critical illness recovery hospitals and our rehabilitation hospitals receive accreditation from TJC, DNV and/or CARF. 
As of December 31, 2018, all of the 96 critical illness recovery hospitals and all of the 26 rehabilitation hospitals we operated 
were accredited by TJC or DNV. In addition, 12 of our rehabilitation hospitals have also received accreditation from CARF. Where 
required under our contracts with the Department of Veterans Affairs, our facilities furnishing outpatient services that operate as 
CBOCs are accredited by TJC or another healthcare accrediting organization. See “—Government Regulations—Veterans Affairs.”

Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ compensation is a state mandated, comprehensive insurance program that requires employers to fund or insure 
medical expenses, lost wages, and other costs resulting from work related injuries and illnesses. Workers’ compensation benefits 
and arrangements vary from state to state, and are often highly complex. In some states, payment for services covered by workers’ 
compensation programs are subject to cost containment features, such as requirements that all workers’ compensation injuries be 
treated through a managed care program, or the imposition of fee schedules or payment caps for services furnished to injured 
employees. Some state workers’ compensation laws limit the ability of an employer to select the providers furnishing care to 
injured employees. Several states require that physicians furnishing non-emergency services to workers’ compensation patients 
must register with the applicable state agency and undergo special continuing education and training. Workers’ compensation 
programs may also impose other requirements that affect the operations of our facilities furnishing outpatient services. Net operating 
revenues generated directly from workers’ compensation programs represented approximately 18% of our net operating revenue 
from our outpatient rehabilitation segment, 1% of our net operating revenue from our critical illness recovery hospital segment, 
2% of our net operating revenue from our rehabilitation hospital segment, and 58% of our net operating revenue from our Concentra 
segment for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Our facilities furnishing outpatient services are reimbursed for services furnished to injured workers by payors pursuant to 
the applicable state workers’ compensation statutes. Most of the states in which we maintain operations reimburse providers for 
services payable under workers’ compensation laws pursuant to a treatment-specific fee schedule with established maximum 
reimbursement  levels.  In  states  without  such  fee  schedules,  healthcare  providers  are  often  reimbursed  based  on  “usual  and 
customary” fees benchmarked by market data and negotiated by providers with payors and networks.

Inadequate increases to the applicable fee schedule amounts for our services, and changes in state workers’ compensation 
laws, including cost containment initiatives, could have a negative impact on the operations and financial performance of those 
facilities.

Veterans Affairs

As of December 31, 2018, we had 31 CBOCs, which were established to provide services to veterans residing in catchment 
areas under agreements with the Department of Veterans Affairs. The awarding of such agreements is regulated by laws related 
to federal government procurements generally, including the Federal Acquisition Regulations. Our contracts with the Department 
of  Veterans Affairs  include  administrative  and  clinical  services,  performance  standards,  qualifications  and  other  contractor 
requirements and information and security requirements. In general, our facilities furnishing outpatient services that are CBOCs 
provide outpatient primary care and mental healthcare in exchange for a capitated monthly fee based on the number of eligible 
patients then enrolled in that CBOC.

Overview of U.S. and State Government Reimbursements

Medicare Program in General

The Medicare program reimburses healthcare providers for services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries, which are generally 
persons age 65 and older, those who are chronically disabled, and those suffering from end stage renal disease. The program is 
governed by the Social Security Act of 1965 and is administered primarily by the Department of Health and Human Services and 
CMS. The table below shows the percentage of net operating revenues generated directly from the Medicare program for each of 
our segments and our company as a whole for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

The Medicare program reimburses various types of providers, including LTCHs, IRFs, and outpatient rehabilitation providers, 
using  different  payment  methodologies.  The  Medicare  reimbursement  systems  specific  to  LTCHs,  IRFs,  and  outpatient 
rehabilitation providers, as described herein, are different than the system applicable to general acute care hospitals. If any of our 
hospitals fail to comply with requirements for payment under Medicare reimbursement systems for LTCHs or IRFs, as applicable, 
that hospital will be paid under the system applicable to general acute care hospitals. For general acute care hospitals, Medicare 
payments for inpatient care are made under the inpatient prospective payment system (“IPPS”) under which a hospital receives a 
fixed payment amount per discharge (adjusted for area wage differences) using Medicare severity diagnosis-related groups (“MS-
DRGs”). The general acute care hospital MS-DRG payment rate is based upon the national average cost of treating a Medicare 
patient’s condition, based on severity levels of illness, in that type of facility. Although the average length of stay varies for each 
MS-DRG, the average stay of all Medicare patients in a general acute care hospital is substantially less than the average length 
of stay in LTCHs and IRFs. Thus, the prospective payment system for general acute care hospitals creates an economic incentive 
for those hospitals to discharge medically complex Medicare patients to a post-acute care setting as soon as clinically possible. 
Effective October 1, 2005, CMS expanded its post-acute care transfer policy under which general acute care hospitals are paid on 
a per diem basis rather than the full MS-DRG rate if a patient is discharged early to certain post-acute care settings, including 
LTCHs and IRFs. When a patient is discharged from selected MS-DRGs to, among other providers, an LTCH or IRF, the general 
acute care hospital may be reimbursed below the full MS-DRG payment if the patient’s length of stay is less than the geometric 
mean length of stay for the MS-DRG.

Medicare Reimbursement of LTCH Services

The Medicare payment system for LTCHs is based on a prospective payment system specifically applicable to LTCHs 
(“LTCH-PPS”). The policies and payment rates under LTCH-PPS are subject to annual updates and revisions. Under LTCH-PPS, 
each patient discharged from an LTCH is assigned to a distinct “MS-LTC-DRG,” which is a Medicare severity long-term care 
diagnosis-related group for LTCHs, and an LTCH is generally paid a pre-determined fixed amount applicable to the assigned MS-
LTC-DRG (adjusted for area wage differences), subject to exceptions for short stay and high cost outlier patients (described below). 
CMS assigns relative weights to each MS-LTC-DRG to reflect their relative use of medical care resources. The payment amount 
for each MS-LTC-DRG is intended to reflect the average cost of treating a Medicare patient assigned to that MS-LTC-DRG in an 
LTCH.

Standard Federal Rate

Payment under the LTCH-PPS is dependent on determining the patient classification, that is, the assignment of the case to 
a particular MS-LTC-DRG, the weight of the MS-LTC-DRG, and the standard federal payment rate. There is a single standard 
federal rate that encompasses both the inpatient operating costs, which includes a labor and non-labor component, and capital-
related costs that CMS updates on an annual basis. LTCH-PPS also includes special payment policies that adjust the payments for 
some patients based on the patient’s length of stay, the facility’s costs, whether the patient was discharged and readmitted, and 
other factors.

16

 
Patient Criteria

The BBA of 2013, enacted December 26, 2013, establishes a dual-rate LTCH-PPS for Medicare patients discharged from 
an LTCH. Specifically, for Medicare patients discharged in cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2015, LTCHs 
will be reimbursed at the LTCH-PPS standard federal payment rate only if, immediately preceding the patient’s LTCH admission, 
the patient was discharged from a “subsection (d) hospital” (generally, a short-term acute care hospital paid under IPPS) and either 
the patient’s stay included at least three days in an intensive care unit (ICU) or coronary care unit (CCU) at the subsection (d) 
hospital, or the patient was assigned to an MS-LTC-DRG for cases receiving at least 96 hours of ventilator services in the LTCH. 
In addition, to be paid at the LTCH-PPS standard federal payment rate, the patient’s discharge from the LTCH may not include a 
principal diagnosis relating to psychiatric or rehabilitation services. For any Medicare patient who does not meet these criteria, 
the LTCH will be paid a lower “site-neutral” payment rate, which will be the lower of: (i) the IPPS comparable per-diem payment 
rate capped at the MS-DRG payment rate plus any outlier payments; or (ii) 100 percent of the estimated costs for services.

The site neutral payment rate for those patients not paid at the LTCH-PPS standard federal payment rate is subject to a 
transition period. During the transition period (applicable to hospital cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2015 
through  September 30, 2019), a blended rate will be paid for Medicare patients not meeting the new criteria that is equal to 50% 
of the site neutral payment rate amount and 50% of the standard federal payment rate amount. For discharges in cost reporting 
periods beginning on or after October 1, 2019, only the site neutral payment rate will apply for Medicare patients not meeting the 
new criteria. For hospital discharges beginning on or after October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2026, the IPPS comparable per 
diem payment amount (including any applicable outlier payment) used to determine the site neutral payment rate will be reduced 
by 4.6% after any annual payment rate update.

In addition, for cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2019, LTCH patient criteria compliant discharges 
from an LTCH will continue to be paid at the LTCH-PPS standard federal payment rate, unless the number of Medicare discharges 
for which payment is made under the site-neutral payment rate is greater than 50% of the total number of discharges from the 
LTCH for that period. If the number of Medicare discharges for which payment is made under the site-neutral payment rate is 
greater than 50%, then beginning in the next cost reporting period all Medicare discharges from the LTCH will be reimbursed at 
the site-neutral payment rate. The BBA of 2013 requires CMS to establish a process for an LTCH subject to only the site-neutral 
payment rate to be reinstated for payment under the dual-rate LTCH-PPS.

Payment  adjustments,  including  the  interrupted  stay  policy  (discussed  herein),  apply  to  LTCH  discharges  regardless  of 
whether the case is paid at the standard federal payment rate or the site-neutral payment rate. However, short stay outlier payment 
adjustments do not apply to cases paid at the site-neutral payment rate. CMS calculates the annual recalibration of the MS-LTC-
DRG relative payment weighting factors using only data from LTCH discharges that meet the criteria for exclusion from the site-
neutral payment rate. In addition, CMS applies the IPPS fixed-loss amount for high cost outliers to site-neutral cases, rather than 
the LTCH-PPS fixed-loss amount. CMS calculates the LTCH-PPS fixed-loss amount using only data from cases paid at the LTCH-
PPS payment rate, excluding cases paid at the site-neutral rate.

Short Stay Outlier Policy

CMS established a different payment methodology for Medicare patients with a length of stay less than or equal to five-
sixths of the geometric average length of stay for that particular MS-LTC-DRG, referred to as a short stay outlier (“SSO”). SSO 
cases are paid based on a per diem rate derived from blending 120% of the MS LTC DRG specific per diem amount with a per 
diem rate based on the general acute care hospital IPPS. Under this policy, as the length of stay of a SSO case increases, the 
percentage of the per diem payment amounts based on the full MS-LTCH-DRG standard federal payment rate increases and the 
percentage of the payment based on the IPPS comparable amount decreases.

High Cost Outliers

Some cases are extraordinarily costly, producing losses that may be too large for hospitals to offset. Cases with unusually 
high costs, referred to as “high cost outliers,” receive a payment adjustment to reflect the additional resources utilized. CMS 
provides an additional payment if the estimated costs for the patient exceed the adjusted MS-LTC-DRG payment plus a fixed-loss 
amount that is established in the annual payment rate update.

Interrupted Stays

An interrupted stay is defined as a case in which an LTCH patient, upon discharge, is admitted to a general acute care hospital, 
IRF or skilled nursing facility/swing-bed and then returns to the same LTCH within a specified period of time. If the length of 
stay at the receiving provider is equal to or less than the applicable fixed period of time, it is considered to be an interrupted stay 
case and the case is treated as a single discharge for the purposes of payment to the LTCH. For interrupted stays of three days or 
less, Medicare payments for any test, procedure, or care provided to an LTCH patient on an outpatient basis or for any inpatient 
treatment during the “interruption” would be the responsibility of the LTCH.

17

Freestanding, HIH, and Satellite LTCHs

LTCHs may be organized and operated as freestanding facilities or as HIHs. As its name suggests, a freestanding LTCH is 
not located on the campus of another hospital. For such purpose, “campus” means the physical area immediately adjacent to a 
hospital’s main buildings, other areas, and structures that are not strictly contiguous to a hospital’s main buildings but are located 
within 250 yards of its main buildings, and any other areas determined, on an individual case basis by the applicable CMS regional 
office, to be part of a hospital’s campus. Conversely, an HIH is an LTCH that is located on the campus of another hospital. An 
LTCH, whether freestanding or an HIH, that uses the same Medicare provider number of an affiliated “primary site” LTCH is 
known as a “satellite.” Under Medicare policy, a satellite LTCH must be located within 35 miles of its primary site LTCH and be 
administered by such primary site LTCH. A primary site LTCH may have more than one satellite LTCH. CMS sometimes refers 
to a satellite LTCH that is freestanding as a “remote location.” LTCH HIHs and satellites must comply with  certain requirements 
to show that they operate as part of the main LTCH, and not the co-located hospital. Most or all of these requirements no longer 
apply to LTCHs that are located on the same campus as other hospitals excluded from the IPPS (e.g., LTCHs and IRFs), provided 
that an IPPS hospital is not also located on that campus.

Facility Certification Criteria

The LTCH-PPS regulations define the criteria that must be met in order for a hospital to be certified as an LTCH. To be 
eligible for payment under the LTCH-PPS, a hospital must be primarily engaged in providing inpatient services to Medicare 
beneficiaries with medically complex conditions that require a long hospital stay. In addition, by definition, LTCHs must meet 
certain facility criteria, including: (i) instituting a review process that screens patients for appropriateness of an admission and 
validates the patient criteria within 48 hours of each patient’s admission, evaluates regularly their patients for continuation of care, 
and assesses the available discharge options; (ii) having active physician involvement with patient care that includes a physician 
available  on-site  daily  and  additional  consulting  physicians  on  call;  and  (iii) having  an  interdisciplinary  team  of  healthcare 
professionals to prepare and carry out an individualized treatment plan for each patient.

An LTCH must have an average inpatient length of stay for Medicare patients (including both Medicare covered and non-
covered days) of greater than 25 days. LTCH cases paid at the site-neutral rate and Medicare Advantage cases are excluded from 
the LTCH average length of stay calculation. LTCHs that fail to exceed an average length of stay of 25 days during any cost 
reporting period may be paid under the general acute care hospital IPPS if not corrected within established time frames. CMS, 
through its contractors, determines whether an LTCH has maintained an average length of stay of greater than 25 days during each 
annual cost reporting period.

Prior to qualifying under the payment system applicable to LTCHs, a new LTCH initially receives payments under the general 
acute care hospital IPPS. The LTCH must continue to be paid under this system for a minimum of six months while meeting certain 
Medicare LTCH requirements, the most significant requirement being an average length of stay for Medicare patients (including 
both Medicare covered and non-covered days) greater than 25 days.

25 Percent Rule

The “25 Percent Rule” was a downward payment adjustment that applied if the percentage of Medicare patients discharged 
from LTCHs who were admitted from a referring hospital (regardless of whether the LTCH or LTCH satellite is co-located with 
the referring hospital) exceeded the applicable percentage admissions threshold during a particular cost reporting period.

CMS was precluded from applying the 25 Percent Rule for freestanding LTCHs to cost reporting years beginning before 
July 1, 2016 and for discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2016 and before October 1, 2017. In addition, the law applied 
higher percentage admissions thresholds for most LTCHs operating as HIHs and satellites for cost reporting years beginning before 
July 1, 2016 and effective for discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2016 and before October 1, 2017.

For fiscal year 2018, CMS adopted a regulatory moratorium on the implementation of the 25 Percent Rule.

For fiscal year 2019 and thereafter, CMS eliminated the 25 Percent Rule entirely. The elimination of the 25 Percent Rule is 
being implemented in a budget-neutral manner by adjusting the standard federal payment rates down such that the projection of 
aggregate LTCH payments would equal the projection of aggregate LTCH payments that would have been paid if the moratorium 
ended and the 25 Percent Rule went into effect on October 1, 2018. As a result, the elimination of the 25 Percent Rule includes a 
temporary, one-time adjustment of 0.990878 to the fiscal year 2019 LTCH-PPS standard federal payment rate, a temporary, one-
time adjustment of 0.990737 to the fiscal year 2020 LTCH-PPS standard federal payment rate, and a permanent, one-time adjustment 
of 0.991249 to the LTCH-PPS standard federal payment rate in fiscal years 2021 and subsequent years.

Annual Payment Rate Update

Fiscal Year 2017. On August 22, 2016, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-PPS 
for fiscal year 2017 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2016 through September 30, 
2017). The standard federal rate was set at $42,476, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2016 
of $41,763. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2017 included a market basket increase of 2.8%, less a productivity 
adjustment of 0.3%, and less a reduction of 0.75% mandated by the Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”). The fixed loss amount for 
high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS was set at $21,943, an increase from the fixed loss amount in the 2016 fiscal year 
of $16,423. The fixed loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site neutral payment rate was set at $23,573, an increase 
from the fixed-loss amount in the 2016 fiscal year of $22,538.

Fiscal Year 2018. On August 14, 2017, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-PPS 
for fiscal year 2018 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2017 through September 30, 
2018). Certain errors in the final rule published on August 14, 2017 were corrected in a final rule published October 4, 2017. The 
standard federal rate was set at $41,415, a decrease from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2017 of $42,476. 
The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2018 included a market basket increase of 2.7%, less a productivity adjustment 
of 0.6%, and less a reduction of 0.75% mandated by the ACA. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2018 was 
further impacted by the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, which limits the update for fiscal year 2018 to 
1.0%. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS was set at $27,381, an increase from the fixed-loss 
amount in the 2017 fiscal year of $21,943. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment 
rate was set at $26,537, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2017 fiscal year of $23,573.

Fiscal Year 2019. On August 17, 2018, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-PPS 
for fiscal year 2019 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2018 through September 30, 
2019). Certain errors in the final rule were corrected in a final rule published October 3, 2018. The standard federal rate was set 
at $41,559, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2018 of $41,415. The update to the standard 
federal rate for fiscal year 2019 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.8%, and less a 
reduction of 0.75% mandated by the ACA. The standard federal rate also included an area wage budget-neutrality factor of 0.999215 
and a temporary, one-time budget-neutrality adjustment of 0.990878 in connection with the elimination of the 25 Percent Rule 
(described herein). The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS was set at $27,121, a decrease from 
the fixed-loss amount in the 2018 fiscal year of $27,381. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-
neutral payment rate was set at $25,743, a decrease from the fixed-loss amount in the 2018 fiscal year of $26,537.

Medicare Reimbursement of IRF Services

IRFs are paid under a prospective payment system specifically applicable to this provider type, which is referred to as “IRF-
PPS.” Under the IRF-PPS, each patient discharged from an IRF is assigned to a case mix group (“IRF-CMG”) containing patients 
with similar clinical conditions that are expected to require similar amounts of resources. An IRF is generally paid a pre-determined 
fixed amount applicable to the assigned IRF-CMG (subject to applicable case adjustments related to length of stay and facility 
level adjustments for location and low income patients). The payment amount for each IRF-CMG is intended to reflect the average 
cost of treating a Medicare patient’s condition in an IRF relative to patients with conditions described by other IRF-CMGs. The 
IRF-PPS also includes special payment policies that adjust the payments for some patients based on the patient’s length of stay, 
the facility’s costs, whether the patient was discharged and readmitted and other factors.

Facility Certification Criteria

Our rehabilitation hospitals must meet certain facility criteria to be classified as an IRF by the Medicare program, including: 
(i) a  provider  agreement  to  participate  as  a  hospital  in  Medicare;  (ii) a  pre-admission  screening  procedure;  (iii) ensuring  that
patients receive close medical supervision and furnish, through the use of qualified personnel, rehabilitation nursing, physical
therapy, and occupational therapy, plus, as needed, speech therapy, social or psychological services, and orthotic and prosthetic
services; (iv) a full-time, qualified director of rehabilitation; (v) a plan of treatment for each inpatient that is established, reviewed,
and revised as needed by a physician in consultation with other professional personnel who provide services to the patient; and
(vi) a coordinated multidisciplinary team approach in the rehabilitation of each inpatient, as documented by periodic clinical entries
made in the patient’s medical record to note the patient’s status in relationship to goal attainment, and that team conferences are
held at least every two weeks to determine the appropriateness of treatment. Failure to comply with any of the classification criteria
may result in the denial of claims for payment or cause a hospital to lose its status as an IRF and be paid under the prospective
payment system that applies to general acute care hospitals.

19

Patient Classification Criteria

In order to qualify as an IRF, a hospital must demonstrate that during its most recent 12-month cost reporting period, it served 
an inpatient population of whom at least 60% required intensive rehabilitation services for one or more of 13 conditions specified 
by regulation. Compliance with the 60% Rule is demonstrated through either medical review or the “presumptive” method, in 
which a patient’s diagnosis codes are compared to a “presumptive compliance” list.  For fiscal year 2018, CMS revised the 60% 
Rule’s  presumptive  methodology  (i)  including  certain  International  Classification  of  Diseases,  Tenth  Revision,  Clinical 
Modification (“ICD-10-CM”) diagnosis codes for patients with traumatic brain injury and hip fracture conditions and (ii) revising 
the presumptive methodology list for major multiple trauma by counting IRF cases that contain two or more of the ICD-10-CM 
codes from three major multiple trauma lists in the specified combinations.

Annual Payment Rate Update

Fiscal Year 2017. On August 5, 2016, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS for 
fiscal year 2017 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2016 through September 30, 
2017). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2017 was set at $15,708, an increase from the standard 
payment conversion factor applicable during fiscal year 2016 of $15,478. The update to the standard payment conversion factor 
for fiscal year 2017 included a market basket increase of 2.7%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.3%, and less a reduction of 
0.75% mandated by the ACA. CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2017 to $7,984 from $8,658 established 
in the final rule for fiscal year 2016.

Fiscal Year 2018. On August 3, 2017, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS for 
fiscal year 2018 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2017 through September 30, 
2018). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2018 was set at $15,838, an increase from the standard 
payment conversion factor applicable during fiscal year 2017 of $15,708. The update to the standard payment conversion factor 
for fiscal year 2018 included a market basket increase of 2.6%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.6%, and less a reduction of 
0.75% mandated by the ACA. The standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2018 was further impacted by the Medicare 
Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, which limited the update for fiscal year 2018 to 1.0%. CMS increased the outlier 
threshold amount for fiscal year 2018 to $8,679 from $7,984 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2017.

Fiscal Year 2019. On August 6, 2018, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS for 
fiscal year 2019 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2018 through September 30, 
2019). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2019 was set at $16,021, an increase from the standard 
payment conversion factor applicable during fiscal year 2018 of $15,838. The update to the standard payment conversion factor 
for fiscal year 2019 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.8%, and less a reduction of 
0.75% mandated by the ACA. CMS increased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2019 to $9,402 from $8,679 established 
in the final rule for fiscal year 2018.

Medicare Reimbursement of Outpatient Rehabilitation Clinic Services

The Medicare program reimburses outpatient rehabilitation providers based on the Medicare physician fee schedule. For 
services provided in 2017 through 2019, a 0.5% update will be applied each year to the fee schedule payment rates, subject to an 
adjustment beginning in 2019 under the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (“MIPS”). For services provided in 2020 through 
2025, a 0.0% percent update will be applied each year to the fee schedule payment rates, subject to adjustments under MIPS and 
the alternative payment models (“APMs”). In 2026 and subsequent years eligible professionals participating in APMs that meet 
certain criteria would receive annual updates of 0.75%, while all other professionals would receive annual updates of 0.25%.

Beginning in 2019, payments under the fee schedule are subject to adjustment based on performance in MIPS, which measures 
performance based on certain quality metrics, resource use, and meaningful use of electronic health records. Under the MIPS 
requirements  a  provider’s  performance  is  assessed  according  to  established  performance  standards  and  used  to  determine  an 
adjustment factor that is then applied to the professional’s payment for a year. Each year from 2019 through 2024, professionals 
who receive a significant share of their revenues through an APM (such as accountable care organizations or bundled payment 
arrangements) that involves risk of financial losses and a quality measurement component will receive a 5% bonus. The bonus 
payment for APM participation is intended to encourage participation and testing of new APMs and to promote the alignment of 
incentives across payors. MIPS and APM apply to physicians and other practitioners included within the definition of “eligible 
clinicians.”  Currently,  physical  therapists  and  occupational  therapists  may  voluntarily  participate  in  MIPS  and APM.    In  the 
Medicare Physician Fee Schedule final rule for calendar year 2019, CMS adopted a final policy to include physical therapists, 
occupational therapists and qualified speech-language pathologists as “eligible clinicians” and require them to participate in these 
programs beginning in the 2021 MIPS payment year.  The specifics of the MIPS and APM adjustments beginning in 2019 and 
2020, respectively, remain subject to future notice and comment rule-making. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we received 
approximately 15% of our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenues from Medicare.

20

Therapy Caps

Outpatient therapy providers reimbursed under the Medicare physician fee schedule have been subject to annual limits for 
therapy expenses. For example, for the calendar year beginning January 1, 2017, the annual limit on outpatient therapy services 
was $1,980 for combined physical and speech language pathology services and $1,980 for occupational therapy services. The 
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 repealed the annual limits on outpatient therapy.

The annual limits for therapy expenses historically did not apply to services furnished and billed by outpatient hospital 
departments. However, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 and prior legislation extended the annual 
limits on therapy expenses in hospital outpatient department settings through December 31, 2017. The application of annual limits 
to hospital outpatient department settings sunset on December 31, 2017. 

Prior to calendar year 2028, all therapy claims exceeding $3,000 are subject to a manual medical review process. The $3,000 
threshold is applied to physical therapy and speech therapy services combined and separately applied to occupational therapy. 
CMS will continue to require that an appropriate modifier be included on claims over the current exception threshold indicating 
that the therapy services are medically necessary. Beginning in 2028 and in each calendar year thereafter, the threshold amount 
for claims requiring manual medical review will increase by the percentage increase in the Medicare Economic Index.

Modifiers to Identify Services of Physical Therapy Assistants or Occupational Therapy Assistants

In the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule final rule for calendar year 2019, CMS established two new modifiers to identify 
services furnished in whole or in part by physical therapy assistants (“PTAs”) or occupational therapy assistants (“OTAs”). These 
modifiers were mandated by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, which requires that claims for outpatient therapy services furnished 
in whole or part by therapy assistants on or after January 1, 2020 include the appropriate modifier. CMS intends to use these 
modifiers to implement a payment differential that would reimburse services provided by PTAs and OTAs at 85% of the fee 
schedule rate beginning on January 1, 2022. 

Other Requirements for Payment

Historically, outpatient rehabilitation services have been subject to scrutiny by the Medicare program for, among other things, 
medical necessity for services, appropriate documentation for services, supervision of therapy aides and students, and billing for 
single rather than group therapy when services are furnished to more than one patient. CMS has issued guidance to clarify that 
services performed by a student are not reimbursed even if provided under “line of sight” supervision of the therapist. Likewise, 
CMS has reiterated that Medicare does not pay for services provided by aides regardless of the level of supervision. CMS also 
has  issued  instructions  that  outpatient  physical  and  occupational  therapy  services  provided  simultaneously  to  two  or  more 
individuals by a practitioner should be billed as group therapy services.

Medicare claims for outpatient therapy services furnished by therapy assistants on or after January 1, 2022 must include a 
modifier indicating the service was furnished by a therapy assistant. CMS is required to develop a modifier to mark services 
provided by a therapy assistant by January 1, 2019, and then submitted claims have to report the modifier mark starting January 
1, 2020. Outpatient therapy services furnished on or after January 1, 2022 in whole or part by a therapy assistant will be paid at 
an amount equal to 85% of the payment amount otherwise applicable for the service. 

Medicaid Reimbursement of LTCH and IRF Services

The Medicaid program is designed to provide medical assistance to individuals unable to afford care. The program is governed 
by the Social Security Act of 1965, funded jointly by each individual state and the federal government and administered by state 
agencies. Medicaid payments are made under a number of different systems, which include cost based reimbursement, prospective 
payment systems, or programs that negotiate payment levels with individual hospitals. In addition, Medicaid programs are subject 
to statutory and regulatory changes, administrative rulings, interpretations of policy by the state agencies, and certain government 
funding limitations, all of which may increase or decrease the level of program payments to our hospitals. Net operating revenues 
generated directly from the Medicaid program represented approximately 7% of our critical illness recovery hospital segment net 
operating revenues and 1% of our rehabilitation hospital segment net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018.

21

Other Healthcare Regulations

Medicare Quality Reporting

LTCHs and IRFs are subject to mandatory quality reporting requirements. LTCHs and IRFs that do not submit the required 
quality data will be subject to a 2% reduction in their annual payment update. The reduction can result in payment rates less than 
the prior year. However, the reduction will not carry over into the subsequent fiscal years.

LTCHs and IRFs are required to collect and report patient assessment data and clinical measures on each Medicare beneficiary 
who receives inpatient services in our facilities. We began reporting this data on October 1, 2012. CMS began making this data 
available to the public on the CMS website in December 2016. CMS is now adding cross-setting quality measures to compare 
quality and resource data across post-acute settings pursuant to the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 
2014 (Pub. L. 113-185) (the “IMPACT Act”).

Medicare Hospital Wage Index Adjustment

As part of the methodology for determining prospective payments to LTCHs and IRFs, CMS adjusts the standard payment 
amounts for area differences in hospital wage levels by a factor reflecting the relative hospital wage level in the geographic area 
of the hospital compared to the national average hospital wage level. This adjustment factor is the hospital wage index. CMS 
currently defines hospital geographic areas (labor market areas) based on the definitions of Core-Based Statistical Areas established 
by the Office of Management and Budget. The ACA calls for CMS to develop and present to Congress a comprehensive reform 
plan using Bureau of Labor Statistics data, or other data or methodologies, to calculate relative wages for each geographic area 
involved. In the preamble to the proposed rule for LTCH-PPS for fiscal year 2012, CMS solicited public comments on ways to 
redefine the geographic reclassification requirements to more accurately define labor markets. To date, CMS has not presented a 
comprehensive reform plan to Congress.

Physician-Owned Hospital Limitations

CMS regulations include a number of hospital ownership and physician referral provisions, including certain obligations 
requiring physician-owned hospitals to disclose ownership or investment interests held by the referring physician or his or her 
immediate family members. In particular, physician-owned hospitals must furnish to patients, on request, a list of physicians or 
immediate family members who own or invest in the hospital. Moreover, a physician-owned hospital must require all physician 
owners or investors who are also active members of the hospital’s medical staff to disclose in writing their ownership or investment 
interests in the hospital to all patients they refer to the hospital. CMS can terminate the Medicare provider agreement of a physician-
owned hospital if it fails to comply with these disclosure provisions or with the requirement that a hospital disclose in writing to 
all patients whether there is a physician on-site at the hospital, 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

Under the transparency and program integrity provisions of the ACA, the exception to the federal self-referral law (the “Stark 
Law”) that permits physicians to refer patients to hospitals in which they have an ownership or investment interest has been 
dramatically curtailed. Only hospitals with physician ownership and a provider agreement in place on December 31, 2010 are 
exempt from the general ban on self-referral. Existing physician-owned hospitals are prohibited from increasing the percentage 
of physician ownership or investment interests held in the hospital after March 23, 2010. In addition, physician-owned hospitals 
are prohibited from increasing the number of licensed beds after March 23, 2010, unless meeting specific exceptions related to 
the hospital’s location and patient population. In order to retain their exemption from the general ban on self-referrals, our physician-
owned hospitals are required to adopt specific measures relating to conflicts of interest, bona fide investments and patient safety. 
As of December 31, 2018, we operated six hospitals that are owned in-part by physicians.

Medicare Recovery Audit Contractors

CMS  contracts  with  third-party  organizations,  known  as  Recovery Audit  Contractors  (“RACs”)  to  identify  Medicare 
underpayments and overpayments, and to authorize RACs to recoup any overpayments. The compensation paid to each RAC is 
based on a percentage of overpayment recoveries identified by the RAC. CMS has selected and entered into contracts with four 
RACs, each of which has begun their audit activities in specific jurisdictions. RAC audits of our Medicare reimbursement may 
lead to assertions that we have been overpaid, require us to incur additional costs to respond to requests for records and pursue 
the reversal of payment denials, and ultimately require us to refund any amounts determined to have been overpaid. We cannot 
predict the impact of future RAC reviews on our results of operations or cash flows.

22

Fraud and Abuse Enforcement

Various federal and state laws prohibit the submission of false or fraudulent claims, including claims to obtain payment 
under Medicare, Medicaid, and other government healthcare programs. Penalties for violation of these laws include civil and 
criminal fines, imprisonment, and exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs. In recent years, federal 
and state government agencies have increased the level of enforcement resources and activities targeted at the healthcare industry. 
In addition, the federal False Claims Act and similar state statutes allow individuals to bring lawsuits on behalf of the government, 
in what are known as qui tam or “whistleblower” actions, alleging false or fraudulent Medicare or Medicaid claims or other 
violations of the statute. The use of these private enforcement actions against healthcare providers has increased dramatically in 
recent years, in part because the individual filing the initial complaint is entitled to share in a portion of any settlement or judgment. 
Revisions to the False Claims Act enacted in 2009 expanded significantly the scope of liability, provided for new investigative 
tools, and made it easier for whistleblowers to bring and maintain False Claims Act suits on behalf of the government. See “—
Legal Proceedings.”

From time to time, various federal and state agencies, such as the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health 
and Human Services (“OIG”) issue a variety of pronouncements, including fraud alerts, the OIG’s Annual Work Plan, and other 
reports, identifying practices that may be subject to heightened scrutiny. These pronouncements can identify issues relating to 
LTCHs, IRFs, or outpatient rehabilitation services or providers. For example, the OIG recently announced that it will (1) determine 
whether Medicare appropriately paid hospitals’ inpatient claims subject to the post-acute care transfer policy, (2) determine whether 
Medicare physician payments for critical care are appropriate and paid in accordance with Medicare requirements, and (3) examine 
up-coding of inpatient hospital billing by comparing how billing has changed over time and how billing varied among hospitals. 
We monitor government publications applicable to us to supplement and enhance our compliance efforts.

We endeavor to conduct our operations in compliance with applicable laws, including healthcare fraud and abuse laws. If 
we identify any practices as being potentially contrary to applicable law, we will take appropriate action to address the matter, 
including, where appropriate, disclosure to the proper authorities, which may result in a voluntary refund of monies to Medicare, 
Medicaid, or other governmental healthcare programs.

Remuneration and Fraud Measures

The federal anti-kickback statute prohibits some business practices and relationships under Medicare, Medicaid, and other 
federal healthcare programs. These practices include the payment, receipt, offer, or solicitation of remuneration in connection 
with, to induce, or to arrange for, the referral of patients covered by a federal or state healthcare program. Violations of the anti-
kickback law may be punished by a criminal fine of up to $50,000 or imprisonment for each violation, or both, civil monetary 
penalties of $50,000 and damages of up to three times the total amount of remuneration, and exclusion from participation in federal 
or state healthcare programs.

The Stark Law prohibits referrals for designated health services by physicians under the Medicare and Medicaid programs 
to other healthcare providers in which the physicians have an ownership or compensation arrangement unless an exception applies. 
Sanctions for violating the Stark Law include civil monetary penalties of up to $15,000 per prohibited service provided, assessments 
equal to three times the dollar value of each such service provided, and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs and 
other federal and state healthcare programs. The statute also provides a penalty of up to $100,000 for a circumvention scheme. In 
addition, many states have adopted or may adopt similar anti-kickback or anti-self-referral statutes. Some of these statutes prohibit 
the payment or receipt of remuneration for the referral of patients, regardless of the source of the payment for the care. While we 
do not believe our arrangements are in violation of these prohibitions, we cannot assure you that governmental officials charged 
with the responsibility for enforcing the provisions of these prohibitions will not assert that one or more of our arrangements are 
in violation of the provisions of such laws and regulations.

Provider-Based Status

The designation “provider-based” refers to circumstances in which a subordinate facility (e.g., a separately certified Medicare 
provider, a department of a provider, or a satellite facility) is treated as part of a provider for Medicare payment purposes. In these 
cases, the services of the subordinate facility are included on the “main” provider’s cost report and overhead costs of the main 
provider can be allocated to the subordinate facility, to the extent that they are shared. As of December 31, 2018, we operated 18
critical illness recovery hospitals and six rehabilitation hospitals that were treated as provider-based satellites of certain of our 
other facilities, 234 of the outpatient rehabilitation clinics we operated were provider-based and are operated as departments of 
the rehabilitation hospitals we operated, and we provide rehabilitation management and staffing services to hospital rehabilitation 
departments that may be treated as provider-based. These facilities are required to satisfy certain operational standards in order 
to retain their provider-based status.

Health Information Practices

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) mandates the adoption of standards for the 
exchange  of  electronic  health  information  in  an  effort  to  encourage  overall  administrative  simplification  and  enhance  the 
effectiveness and efficiency of the healthcare industry, while maintaining the privacy and security of health information. Among 
the standards that the Department of Health and Human Services has adopted or will adopt pursuant to HIPAA are standards for 
electronic transactions and code sets, unique identifiers for providers (referred to as National Provider Identifier), employers, 
health plans and individuals, security and electronic signatures, privacy, and enforcement. If we fail to comply with the HIPAA 
requirements, we could be subject to criminal penalties and civil sanctions. The privacy, security and enforcement provisions of 
HIPAA were enhanced by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”), which was 
included in the ARRA. Among other things, HITECH establishes security breach notification requirements, allows enforcement 
of HIPAA by state attorneys general, and increases penalties for HIPAA violations.

The Department of Health and Human Services has adopted standards in three areas in which we are required to comply 

that affect our operations.

Standards relating to the privacy of individually identifiable health information govern our use and disclosure of protected 
health information and require us to impose those rules, by contract, on any business associate to whom such information is 
disclosed.

Standards relating to electronic transactions and code sets require the use of uniform standards for common healthcare 
transactions, including healthcare claims information, plan eligibility, referral certification and authorization, claims status, plan 
enrollment and disenrollment, payment and remittance advice, plan premium payments, and coordination of benefits.

Standards for the security of electronic health information require us to implement various administrative, physical, and 

technical safeguards to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of electronic protected health information.

We maintain a HIPAA committee that is charged with evaluating and monitoring our compliance with HIPAA. The HIPAA 
committee monitors regulations promulgated under HIPAA as they have been adopted to date and as additional standards and 
modifications are adopted. Although health information standards have had a significant effect on the manner in which we handle 
health data and communicate with payors, the cost of our compliance has not had a material adverse effect on our business, financial 
condition, or results of operations. We cannot estimate the cost of compliance with standards that have not been issued or finalized 
by the Department of Health and Human Services.

In addition to HIPAA, there are numerous federal and state laws and regulations addressing patient and consumer privacy 
concerns, including unauthorized access or theft of personal information. State statutes and regulations vary from state to state. 
Lawsuits, including class actions and action by state attorneys general, directed at companies that have experienced a privacy or 
security breach also can occur. Although our policies and procedures are aimed at complying with privacy and security requirements 
and minimizing the risks of any breach of privacy or security, there can be no assurance that a breach of privacy or security will 
not occur. If there is a breach, we may be subject to various penalties and damages and may be required to incur costs to mitigate 
the impact of the breach on affected individuals.

Compliance Program

Our Compliance Program

We maintain a written code of conduct (the “Code of Conduct”) that provides guidelines for principles and regulatory rules 
that are applicable to our patient care and business activities. The Code of Conduct is reviewed and amended as necessary and is 
the basis for our company-wide compliance program. These guidelines are implemented by our compliance officer, our compliance 
and audit committee, and are communicated to our employees through education and training. We also have established a reporting 
system, auditing and monitoring programs, and a disciplinary system as a means for enforcing the Code of Conduct’s policies.

Compliance and Audit Committee

Our compliance and audit committee is made up of members of our senior management and in-house counsel. The compliance 
and audit committee meets, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis and reviews the activities, reports, and operation of our compliance 
program.  In  addition,  our  HIPAA  committee  provides  reports  to  the  compliance  and  audit  committee.  Our  vice  president  of 
compliance and audit services meets with the compliance and audit committee, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis to provide an 
overview of the activities and operation of our compliance program.

Operating Our Compliance Program

We focus on integrating compliance responsibilities with operational functions. We recognize that our compliance with 
applicable laws and regulations depends upon individual employee actions as well as company operations. As a result, we have 
adopted an operations team approach to compliance. Our corporate executives, with the assistance of corporate experts, designed 
the programs of the compliance and audit committee. We utilize facility leaders for employee-level implementation of our Code 
of Conduct. This approach is intended to reinforce our company-wide commitment to operate in accordance with the laws and 
regulations that govern our business.

Compliance Issue Reporting

In order to facilitate our employees’ ability to report known, suspected, or potential violations of our Code of Conduct, we 
have developed a system of reporting. This reporting, anonymous or attributable, may be accomplished through our toll-free 
compliance hotline, compliance e-mail address, or our compliance post office box. Our compliance officer and the compliance 
and audit committee are responsible for reviewing and investigating each compliance incident in accordance with the compliance 
and audit services department’s investigation policy.

Compliance Monitoring and Auditing / Comprehensive Training and Education

Monitoring reports and the results of compliance for each of our business segments are reported to the compliance and audit 
committee, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis. We train and educate our employees regarding the Code of Conduct, as well as 
the legal and regulatory requirements relevant to each employee’s work environment. New and current employees are required to 
acknowledge and certify that the employee has read, understood, and has agreed to abide by the Code of Conduct. Additionally, 
all employees are required to re-certify compliance with the Code of Conduct on an annual basis.

Policies and Procedures Reflecting Compliance Focus Areas

We review our policies and procedures for our compliance program from time to time in order to improve operations and 
to ensure compliance with requirements of standards, laws, and regulations and to reflect the ongoing compliance focus areas 
which have been identified by the compliance and audit committee.

Internal Audit

We have a compliance and audit department, which has an internal audit function. Our vice president of compliance and 
audit services manages the combined compliance and audit department and meets with the audit and compliance committee of 
our board of directors, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis to discuss audit results and provide an overview of the activities and 
operation of our compliance program.

We are subject to the information and periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 
and, in accordance therewith, file periodic reports, proxy statements, and other information, including our Code of Conduct, with 
the SEC. Such periodic reports, proxy statements, and other information are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors.

        In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K, the following are important factors which could cause actual 
results or events to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us.

Risks Related to Our Business

If there are changes in the rates or methods of government reimbursements for our services, our net operating revenues and 
profitability could decline.

Approximately 30% of our net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016, 30% of our net operating revenues 
for the year ended December 31, 2017, and 27% of our net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018, came from 
the highly regulated federal Medicare program.

In recent years, through legislative and regulatory actions, the federal government has made substantial changes to various 
payment systems under the Medicare program. President Obama signed into law comprehensive reforms to the healthcare system, 
including changes to the methods for, and amounts of, Medicare reimbursement. Additional reforms or other changes to these 
payment systems, including modifications to the conditions on qualification for payment, bundling payments to cover both acute 
and post-acute care, or the imposition of enrollment limitations on new providers, may be proposed or could be adopted, either 
by Congress or CMS. If revised regulations are adopted, the availability, methods, and rates of Medicare reimbursements for 
services of the type furnished at our facilities could change. For example, the rules and regulations related to patient criteria for 
our critical illness recovery hospitals could become more stringent and reduce the number of patients we admit. Some of these 
changes and proposed changes could adversely affect our business strategy, operations, and financial results. In addition, there 
can be no assurance that any increases in Medicare reimbursement rates established by CMS will fully reflect increases in our 
operating costs.

We conduct business in a heavily regulated industry, and changes in regulations, new interpretations of existing regulations, 
or violations of regulations may result in increased costs or sanctions that reduce our net operating revenues and profitability.

The  healthcare  industry  is  subject  to  extensive  federal,  state,  and  local  laws  and  regulations  relating  to:  (i) facility  and 
professional licensure, including certificates of need; (ii) conduct of operations, including financial relationships among healthcare 
providers, Medicare fraud and abuse, and physician self-referral; (iii) addition of facilities and services and enrollment of newly 
developed facilities in the Medicare program; (iv) payment for services; and (v) safeguarding protected health information.

Both federal and state regulatory agencies inspect, survey, and audit our facilities to review our compliance with these laws 
and regulations. While our facilities intend to comply with existing licensing, Medicare certification requirements, and accreditation 
standards, there can be no assurance that these regulatory authorities will determine that all applicable requirements are fully met 
at any given time. A determination by any of these regulatory authorities that a facility is not in compliance with these requirements 
could lead to the imposition of requirements that the facility takes corrective action, assessment of fines and penalties, or loss of 
licensure, Medicare certification, or accreditation. These consequences could have an adverse effect on our company.

In  addition,  there  have  been  heightened  coordinated  civil  and  criminal  enforcement  efforts  by  both  federal  and  state 
government agencies relating to the healthcare industry. The ongoing investigations relate to, among other things, various referral 
practices, billing practices, and physician ownership. In the future, different interpretations or enforcement of these laws and 
regulations  could  subject  us  to  allegations  of  impropriety  or  illegality  or  could  require  us  to  make  changes  in  our  facilities, 
equipment, personnel, services, and capital expenditure programs. These changes may increase our operating expenses and reduce 
our operating revenues. If we fail to comply with these extensive laws and government regulations, we could become ineligible 
to receive government program reimbursement, suffer civil or criminal penalties, or be required to make significant changes to 
our operations. In addition, we could be forced to expend considerable resources responding to any related investigation or other 
enforcement action.

28

If our critical illness recovery hospitals fail to maintain their certifications as LTCHs or if our facilities operated as HIHs fail 
to qualify as hospitals separate from their host hospitals, our net operating revenues and profitability may decline.

As of December 31, 2018, we operated 96 critical illness recovery hospitals, all of which are currently certified by Medicare 
as LTCHs. LTCHs must meet certain conditions of participation to enroll in, and seek payment from, the Medicare program as an 
LTCH, including, among other things, maintaining an average length of stay for Medicare patients in excess of 25 days. An LTCH 
that fails to maintain this average length of stay for Medicare patients in excess of 25 days during a single cost reporting period 
is generally allowed an opportunity to show that it meets the length of stay criteria during a subsequent cure period. If the LTCH 
can show that it meets the length of stay criteria during this cure period, it will continue to be paid under the LTCH-PPS. If the 
LTCH again fails to meet the average length of stay criteria during the cure period, it will be paid under the general acute care 
IPPS at rates generally lower than the rates under the LTCH-PPS.

Similarly,  our  HIHs  must  meet  conditions  of  participation  in  the  Medicare  program,  which  include  additional  criteria 
establishing separateness from the hospital with which the HIH shares space. If our critical illness recovery hospitals fail to meet 
or maintain the standards for certification as LTCHs, they will receive payment under the general acute care hospitals IPPS which 
is generally lower than payment under the system applicable to LTCHs. Payments at rates applicable to general acute care hospitals 
would result in our hospitals receiving significantly less Medicare reimbursement than they currently receive for their patient 
services.

Decreases in Medicare reimbursement rates received by our outpatient rehabilitation clinics may reduce our future net operating 
revenues and profitability.

Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics receive payments from the Medicare program under a fee schedule. The Medicare Access 
and  CHIP  Reauthorization Act  of  2015  requires  that  payments  under  the  fee  schedule  be  adjusted  starting  in  2019  based  on 
performance in a MIPS and, beginning in 2020, incentives for participation in alternative payment models. The specifics of the 
MIPS and incentives for participation in alternative payment models will be subject to future notice and comment rule-making. 
It is unclear what impact, if any, the MIPS and incentives for participation in alternative payment models will have on our business 
and operating results, but any resulting decrease in payment may reduce our future net operating revenues and profitability.

The nature of the markets that Concentra serves may constrain its ability to raise prices at rates sufficient to keep pace with 
the inflation of its costs.

Rates of reimbursement for work-related injury or illness visits in Concentra’s occupational health services business are 
established  through  a  legislative  or  regulatory  process  within  each  state  that  Concentra  serves.  Currently,  37  states  in  which 
Concentra has operations have fee schedules pursuant to which all healthcare providers are uniformly reimbursed. The fee schedules 
are determined by each state and generally prescribe the maximum amounts that may be reimbursed for a designated procedure. 
In the states without fee schedules, healthcare providers are generally reimbursed based on usual, customary and reasonable rates 
charged in the particular state in which the services are provided. Given that Concentra does not control these processes, it may 
be subject to financial risks if individual jurisdictions reduce rates or do not routinely raise rates of reimbursement in a manner 
that keeps pace with the inflation of Concentra’s costs of service.

In Concentra’s veteran’s healthcare business, reimbursement rates are generally set according to the capitated monthly rate 
based on the number of then enrolled patients at that CBOC. Evolving legislative and regulatory changes aimed at improving 
veteran’s access to care in the wake of Department of Veterans Affairs scandals (none of which involved Concentra’s CBOCs) 
could result in fewer patients enrolling in CBOCs. Federal legislation that permits certain veterans to receive their healthcare 
outside of the Department of Veterans Affairs facilities, for example, may reduce demand for services at some of Concentra’s 
CBOCs. Moreover, changes in the methods, manner or amounts of compensation payable for Concentra’s services, including, 
amounts reimbursable to the CBOCs under its agreements with the Department of Veterans Affairs, due to legislative or other 
changes or shifting budget priorities could result in lower reimbursement for services provided at Concentra’s CBOCs. Concentra 
may receive lower payments from the Veterans Health Administration if fewer eligible veterans are considered to live within the 
catchments of its CBOCs. These trends could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

29

If our rehabilitation hospitals fail to comply with the 60% Rule or admissions to IRFs are limited due to changes to the diagnosis 
codes on the presumptive compliance list, our net operating revenues and profitability may decline.

As of December 31, 2018, we operated 26 rehabilitation hospitals, all of which were certified as Medicare providers and 
operating as IRFs. Our rehabilitation hospitals must meet certain conditions of participation to enroll in, and seek payment from, 
the Medicare program as an IRF. Among other things, at least 60% of the IRF’s total inpatient population must require treatment 
for one or more of 13 conditions specified by regulation. This requirement is now commonly referred to as the “60% Rule.” 
Compliance with the 60% Rule is demonstrated through a two step process. The first step is the “presumptive” method, in which 
patient diagnosis codes are compared to a “presumptive compliance” list. IRFs that fail to demonstrate compliance with the 60% 
Rule using this presumptive test may demonstrate compliance through a second step involving an audit of the facility’s medical 
records to assess compliance.

If an IRF does not demonstrate compliance with the 60% Rule by either the presumptive method or through a review of 
medical records, then the facility’s classification as an IRF may be terminated at the start of its next cost reporting period causing 
the facility to be paid as a general acute care hospital under IPPS. If our rehabilitation hospitals fail to demonstrate compliance 
with the 60% Rule through either method and are classified as general acute care hospitals, our net operating revenue and profitability 
may be adversely affected.

As a result of post-payment reviews of claims we submit to Medicare for our services, we may incur additional costs and may 
be required to repay amounts already paid to us.

We are subject to regular post-payment inquiries, investigations, and audits of the claims we submit to Medicare for payment 
for our services. These post-payment reviews include medical necessity reviews for Medicare patients admitted to LTCHs and 
IRFs, and audits of Medicare claims under the Recovery Audit Contractor program. These post-payment reviews may require us 
to incur additional costs to respond to requests for records and to pursue the reversal of payment denials, and ultimately may 
require us to refund amounts paid to us by Medicare that are determined to have been overpaid.

Most of our critical illness recovery hospitals are subject to short-term leases, and the loss of multiple leases close in time could 
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We lease most of our critical illness recovery hospitals under short-term leases with terms of less than ten years. These leases 
often do not have favorable renewal options and generally cannot be renewed or extended without the written consent of the 
landlords thereunder.  If we cannot renew or extend a significant number of our existing leases, or if the terms for lease renewal 
or extension offered by landlords on a significant number of leases are unacceptable to us, then the loss of multiple leases close 
in time could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our facilities are subject to extensive federal and state laws and regulations relating to the privacy of individually identifiable 
information.

HIPAA required the United States Department of Health and Human Services to adopt standards to protect the privacy and 
security of individually identifiable health information. The department released final regulations containing privacy standards in 
December 2000 and published revisions to the final regulations in August 2002. The privacy regulations extensively regulate the 
use and disclosure of individually identifiable health information. The regulations also provide patients with significant new rights 
related  to  understanding  and  controlling  how  their  health  information  is  used  or  disclosed.  The  security  regulations  require 
healthcare providers to implement administrative, physical and technical practices to protect the security of individually identifiable 
health information that is maintained or transmitted electronically. HITECH, which was signed into law in February 2009, enhanced 
the privacy, security, and enforcement provisions of HIPAA by, among other things, establishing security breach notification 
requirements, allowing enforcement of HIPAA by state attorneys general, and increasing penalties for HIPAA violations. Violations 
of HIPAA or HITECH could result in civil or criminal penalties. For example, HITECH permits HHS to conduct audits of HIPAA 
compliance and impose penalties even if we did not know or reasonably could not have known about the violation and increases 
civil monetary penalty amounts up to $50,000 per violation with a maximum of $1.5 million in a calendar year for violations of 
the same requirement.

In addition to HIPAA, there are numerous federal and state laws and regulations addressing patient and consumer privacy 
concerns, including unauthorized access, or theft of patient’s identifiable health information. State statutes and regulations vary 
from  state  to  state.  Lawsuits,  including  class  actions  and  action  by  state  attorneys  general,  directed  at  companies  that  have 
experienced a privacy or security breach also can occur.

30

In  the  conduct  of  our  business,  we  process,  maintain,  and  transmit  sensitive  data,  including  our  patient’s  individually 
identifiable health information. We have developed a comprehensive set of policies and procedures in our efforts to comply with 
HIPAA  and  other  privacy  laws.  Our  compliance  officer,  privacy  officer,  and  information  security  officer  are  responsible  for 
implementing and monitoring compliance with our privacy and security policies and procedures at our facilities. We believe that 
the cost of our compliance with HIPAA and other federal and state privacy laws will not have a material adverse effect on our 
business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance that a breach of privacy or 
security will not occur. If there is a breach, we may be subject to various lawsuits, penalties and damages and may be required to 
incur costs to mitigate the impact of the breach on affected individuals.

We may be adversely affected by a security breach of our, or our third-party vendors’, information technology systems, such 
as a cyber attack, which may cause a violation of HIPAA or HITECH and subject us to potential legal and reputational harm.

In the normal course of business, our information technology systems hold sensitive patient information including patient 
demographic data, eligibility for various medical plans including Medicare and Medicaid, and protected health information, which 
is subject to HIPAA and  HITECH. Additionally, we  utilize those same systems to  perform our day-to-day  activities, such as 
receiving referrals, assigning medical teams to patients, documenting medical information, maintaining an accurate record of all 
transactions, processing payments, and maintaining our employee’s personal information. We also contract with third-party vendors 
to maintain and store our patient’s individually identifiable health information. Numerous state and federal laws and regulations 
address privacy and information security concerns resulting from our access to our patient’s and employee’s personal information.

Our information technology systems and those of our vendors that process, maintain, and transmit such data are subject to 
computer viruses, cyber attacks, or breaches. We adhere to policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with HIPAA 
and other privacy and information security laws and require our third-party vendors to do so as well. Failure to maintain the security 
and functionality of our information systems and related software, or to defend a cybersecurity attack or other attempt to gain 
unauthorized access to our or or third-party’s systems, facilities, or patient health information could expose us to a number of 
adverse consequences, including but not limited to disruptions in our operations, regulatory and other civil and criminal penalties, 
reputational harm, investigations and enforcement actions (including, but not limited to, those arising from the SEC, Federal Trade 
Commission, the OIG or state attorneys general), fines, litigation with those affected by the data breach, loss of customers, disputes 
with payors, and increased operating expense, which either individually or in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect 
on our business, financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.

Furthermore, while our information technology systems, and those of our third-party vendors, are maintained with safeguards 
protecting against cyber attacks, including passive intrusion protection, firewalls, and virus detection software, these safeguards 
do not ensure that a significant cyber attack could not occur. A cyber attack that bypasses our information technology security 
systems, or those of our third-party vendors, could cause the loss of protected health information, or other data subject to privacy 
laws, the loss of proprietary business information, or a material disruption to our or a third-party vendor’s information technology 
business systems resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. 
In addition, our future results could be adversely affected due to the theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of protected 
health information, other confidential data or proprietary business information, operational or business delays resulting from the 
disruption of information technology systems and subsequent clean-up and mitigation activities, negative publicity resulting in 
reputation or brand damage with clients, members, or industry peers, or regulatory action taken as a result of such incident. We 
provide our employees training and regular reminders on important measures they can take to prevent breaches. We routinely 
identify attempts to gain unauthorized access to our systems. However, given the rapidly evolving nature and proliferation of cyber 
threats, there can be no assurance our training and network security measures or other controls will detect, prevent, or remediate 
security or data breaches in a timely manner or otherwise prevent unauthorized access to, damage to, or interruption of our systems 
and operations. For example, it has been widely reported that many well-organized international interests, in certain cases with 
the backing of sovereign governments, are targeting the theft of patient information through the use of advance persistent threats. 
Similarly, in recent years, several hospitals have reported being the victim of ransomware attacks in which they lost access to their 
systems,  including  clinical  systems,  during  the  course  of  the  attacks.  We  are  likely  to  face  attempted  attacks  in  the  future. 
Accordingly, we may be vulnerable to losses associated with the improper functioning, security breach, or unavailability of our 
information systems as well as any systems used in acquired operations.

Our acquisitions require transitions and integration of various information technology systems, and we regularly upgrade 
and expand our information technology systems’ capabilities. If we experience difficulties with the transition and integration of 
these systems or are unable to implement, maintain, or expand our systems properly, we could suffer from, among other things, 
operational disruptions, regulatory problems, working capital disruptions, and increases in administrative expenses. While we 
make significant efforts to address any information security issues and vulnerabilities with respect to the companies we acquire, 
we may still inherit risks of security breaches or other compromises when we integrate these companies within our business.

Quality reporting requirements may negatively impact Medicare reimbursement.

The IMPACT  Act  requires  the  submission  of  standardized  data  by  certain  healthcare  providers.  Specifically, 
the IMPACT Act requires, among other significant activities, the reporting of standardized patient assessment data with regard to 
quality measures, resource use, and other measures. Failure to report data as required will subject providers to a 2% reduction in 
market basket prices then in effect. Additionally, reporting activities associated with the IMPACT Act are anticipated to be quite 
burdensome. CMS proposes to require hospitals to have a discharge planning process that focuses on patients’ goals and preferences 
and on preparing them and, as appropriate, their caregivers, to be active partners in their post-discharge care. The adoption of 
these and additional quality reporting measures for our hospitals to track and report will require additional time and expense and 
could affect reimbursement in the future. In healthcare generally, the burdens associated with collecting, recording, and reporting 
quality data are increasing.

There can be no assurance that all of our agencies will continue to meet quality reporting requirements in the future which 
may result in one or more of our agencies seeing a reduction in its Medicare reimbursements. Regardless, we, like other healthcare 
providers, are likely to incur additional expenses in an effort to comply with additional and changing quality reporting requirements.

We may be adversely affected by negative publicity which can result in increased governmental and regulatory scrutiny and 
possibly adverse regulatory changes.

Negative press coverage, including about the industries in which we currently operate, can result in increased governmental 
and regulatory scrutiny and possibly adverse regulatory changes. Adverse publicity and increased governmental scrutiny can have 
a negative impact on our reputation with referral sources and patients and on the morale and performance of our employees, both 
of which could adversely affect our businesses and results of operations.

Current and future acquisitions may use significant resources, may be unsuccessful, and could expose us to unforeseen 
liabilities.

As part of our growth strategy, we may pursue acquisitions of critical illness recovery hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, 
outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and other related healthcare facilities and services. These acquisitions, including the acquisition 
of U.S. HealthWorks by Concentra, may involve significant cash expenditures, debt incurrence, additional operating losses and 
expenses, and compliance risks that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to successfully integrate our acquired businesses into ours, and therefore, we may not be able to realize 
the intended benefits from an acquisition. If we fail to successfully integrate acquisitions, including that of U.S. HealthWorks, our 
financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. These acquisitions could result in difficulties 
integrating acquired operations, technologies, and personnel into our business. Such difficulties may divert significant financial, 
operational, and managerial resources from our existing operations and make it more difficult to achieve our operating and strategic 
objectives. We may fail to retain employees or patients acquired through these acquisitions, which may negatively impact the 
integration efforts. These acquisitions, including the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks by Concentra, could also have a negative 
impact on our results of operations if it is subsequently determined that goodwill or other acquired intangible assets are impaired, 
thus resulting in an impairment charge in a future period.

In addition, these acquisitions involve risks that the acquired businesses will not perform in accordance with expectations; 
that we may become liable for unforeseen financial or business liabilities of the acquired businesses, including liabilities for failure 
to comply with healthcare regulations; that the expected synergies associated with acquisitions will not be achieved; and that 
business judgments concerning the value, strengths, and weaknesses of businesses acquired will prove incorrect, which could have 
a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Risks associated with our potential international operations.

We  are  expanding  our  operations  into  other  countries.  International  operations  are  subject  to  risks  that  may  materially 
adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. The risks that our potential international operations 
would  be  subject  to  include,  among  other  things:  difficulties  and  costs  relating  to  staffing  and  managing  foreign  operations; 
fluctuations  in  the  value  of  foreign  currencies;  repatriation  of  cash  from  our  foreign  operations  to  the  United  States;  foreign 
countries may impose additional withholding taxes or otherwise tax our foreign income; separate operating and financial systems; 
disaster recovery; and unexpected regulatory, economic, and political changes in foreign markets. In addition to the foregoing, 
our potential international operations will face risks associated with complying with laws governing our foreign business operations, 
including the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and applicable regulatory requirements. 

32

Future joint ventures may use significant resources, may be unsuccessful, and could expose us to unforeseen liabilities.

As part of our growth strategy, we have partnered and may partner with large healthcare systems to provide post-acute care 
services. These joint ventures have included and may involve significant cash expenditures, debt incurrence, additional operating 
losses and expenses, and compliance risks that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of 
operations.

A joint venture involves the combining of corporate cultures and mission. As a result, we may not be able to successfully 
operate a joint venture, and therefore, we may not be able to realize the intended benefits. If we fail to successfully execute a joint 
venture relationship, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. A new joint venture 
could result in difficulties in combining operations, technologies, and personnel. Such difficulties may divert significant financial, 
operational, and managerial resources from our existing operations and make it more difficult to achieve our operating and strategic 
objectives. We may fail to retain employees or patients as a result of the integration efforts.

A joint venture is operated through a board of directors that contains representatives of Select and other parties to the joint 
venture. We may not control the board or some actions of the board may require supermajority votes. As a result, the joint venture 
may elect certain actions that could have adverse effects on our financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to compete effectively with other hospitals, clinics, occupational health centers, and healthcare providers in the local 
areas we serve, our net operating revenues and profitability may decline.

The healthcare business is highly competitive, and we compete with other hospitals, rehabilitation clinics, occupational 
health centers, and other healthcare providers for patients. If we are unable to compete effectively in the critical illness recovery, 
rehabilitation hospital, outpatient rehabilitation, and occupational health services businesses, our ability to retain customers and 
physicians, or maintain or increase our revenue growth, price flexibility, control over medical cost trends, and marketing expenses 
may be compromised and our net operating revenues and profitability may decline.

Many of our critical illness recovery hospitals and our rehabilitation hospitals operate in geographic areas where we compete 

with at least one other facility that provides similar services.

Our outpatient rehabilitation clinics face competition from a variety of local and national outpatient rehabilitation providers, 
including physician-owned physical therapy clinics, dedicated locally owned and managed outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and 
hospital or university owned or affiliated ventures, as well as national and regional providers in select areas. Other competing 
outpatient rehabilitation clinics in local areas we serve may have greater name recognition and longer operating histories than our 
clinics. The managers of these competing clinics may also have stronger relationships with physicians in their communities, which 
could give them a competitive advantage for patient referrals. Because the barriers to entry are not substantial and current customers 
have the flexibility to move easily to new healthcare service providers, we believe that new outpatient physical therapy competitors 
can emerge relatively quickly.

Concentra’s primary competitors, including those of U.S. HealthWorks, have typically been independent physicians, hospital 
emergency departments, and hospital-owned or hospital-affiliated medical facilities. Because the barriers to entry in Concentra’s 
geographic markets are not substantial and its current customers have the flexibility to move easily to new healthcare service 
providers, new competitors to Concentra can emerge relatively quickly. The markets for Concentra’s consumer health and veteran’s 
healthcare businesses are also fragmented and competitive. If Concentra’s competitors are better able to attract patients or expand 
services at their facilities than Concentra is, Concentra may experience an overall decline in revenue. Similarly, competitive pricing 
pressures from our competitors could cause Concentra to lose existing or future CBOC contracts with the Department of Veterans 
Affairs, which may also cause Concentra to experience an overall decline in revenue.

Future cost containment initiatives undertaken by private third-party payors may limit our future net operating revenues and 
profitability.

Initiatives undertaken by major insurers and managed care companies to contain healthcare costs affect our profitability. 
These payors attempt to control healthcare costs by contracting with hospitals and other healthcare providers to obtain services 
on a discounted basis. We believe that this trend may continue and may limit reimbursements for healthcare services. If insurers 
or managed care companies from whom we receive substantial payments reduce the amounts they pay for services, our profit 
margins may decline, or we may lose patients if we choose not to renew our contracts with these insurers at lower rates.

33

If we fail to maintain established relationships with the physicians in the areas we serve, our net operating revenues may 
decrease.

Our success is partially dependent upon the admissions and referral practices of the physicians in the communities our critical 
illness recovery hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, and outpatient rehabilitation clinics serve, and our ability to maintain good 
relations with these physicians. Physicians referring patients to our hospitals and clinics are generally not our employees and, in 
many of the local areas that we serve, most physicians have admitting privileges at other hospitals and are free to refer their patients 
to other providers. If we are unable to successfully cultivate and maintain strong relationships with these physicians, our hospitals’ 
admissions and our facilities’ and clinics’ businesses may decrease, and our net operating revenues may decline.

We could experience significant increases to our operating costs due to shortages of healthcare professionals or union activity.

Our  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals  and  our  rehabilitation  hospitals  are  highly  dependent  on  nurses,  our  outpatient 
rehabilitation division is highly dependent on therapists for patient care, and Concentra is highly dependent upon the ability of its 
affiliated professional groups to recruit and retain qualified physicians and other licensed providers. The market for qualified 
healthcare professionals is highly competitive. We have sometimes experienced difficulties in attracting and retaining qualified 
healthcare personnel. We cannot assure you we will be able to attract and retain qualified healthcare professionals in the future. 
Additionally, the cost of attracting and retaining qualified healthcare personnel may be higher than we anticipate, and as a result, 
our profitability could decline.

In addition, United States healthcare providers are continuing to see an increase in the amount of union activity. Though we 
cannot predict the degree to which we will be affected by future union activity, there may be continuing legislative proposals that 
could result in increased union activity. We could experience an increase in labor and other costs from such union activity.

Our business operations could be significantly disrupted if we lose key members of our management team.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our senior officers and other key employees, 
and our ability to retain and motivate these individuals. We currently have employment agreements in place with three executive 
officers and change in control agreements and/or non-competition agreements with several other officers. Many of these individuals 
also have significant equity ownership in our company. We do not maintain any key life insurance policies for any of our employees. 
The loss of the services of certain of these individuals could disrupt significant aspects of our business, could prevent us from 
successfully executing our business strategy, and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

In conducting our business, we are required to comply with applicable laws regarding fee-splitting and the corporate practice 
of medicine.

Some  states  prohibit  the  “corporate  practice  of  medicine”  that  restricts  business  corporations  from  practicing  medicine 
through the direct employment of physicians or from exercising control over medical decisions by physicians. Some states similarly 
prohibit the “corporate practice of therapy.” The laws relating to corporate practice vary from state to state and are not fully 
developed in each state in which we have facilities. Typically, however, professional corporations owned and controlled by licensed 
professionals are exempt from corporate practice restrictions and may employ physicians or therapists to furnish professional 
services. Also, in some states, hospitals are permitted to employ physicians.

Some states also prohibit entities from engaging in certain financial arrangements, such as fee-splitting, with physicians or 
therapists. The laws relating to fee-splitting also vary from state to state and are not fully developed. Generally, these laws restrict 
business arrangements that involve a physician or therapist sharing medical fees with a referral source, but in some states, these 
laws have been interpreted to extend to management agreements between physicians or therapists and business entities under some 
circumstances.

We believe that the Company’s current and planned activities do not constitute fee-splitting or the unlawful corporate practice 
of medicine as contemplated by these state laws. However, there can be no assurance that future interpretations of such laws will 
not require structural and organizational modification of our existing relationships with the practices. If a court or regulatory body 
determines that we have violated these laws or if new laws are introduced that would render our arrangements illegal, we could 
be subject to civil or criminal penalties, our contracts could be found legally invalid and unenforceable (in whole or in part), or 
we could be required to restructure our contractual arrangements with our affiliated physicians and other licensed providers.

34

If the frequency of workplace injuries and illnesses continues to decline, Concentra’s results may be negatively affected.

Approximately 58% of Concentra’s revenue in 2018 was generated from the treatment of workers’ compensation claims. 
In  the  past  decade,  the  number  of  workers’  compensation  claims  has  decreased,  which  Concentra  primarily  attributes  to 
improvements in workplace safety, improved risk management by employers, and changes in the type and composition of jobs. 
During the economic downturn, the number of employees with workers’ compensation insurance substantially decreased. Although 
the number of covered employees has increased more in recent years as the employment rate has increased, adverse economic 
conditions can cause the number of covered employees to decline which can cause further declines in workers’ compensation 
claims. In addition, because of the greater access to health insurance and the fact that the United States economy has continued 
to shift from a manufacturing-based to a service-based economy along with general improvements in workplace safety, workers 
are generally healthier and less prone to work injuries. Increases in employer-sponsored wellness and health promotion programs, 
spurred in part by the ACA, have led to fitter and healthier employees who may be less likely to injure themselves on the job. 
Concentra’s business model is based, in part, on its ability to expand its relative share of the market for the treatment of claims 
for workplace injuries and illnesses. If workplace injuries and illnesses decline at a greater rate than the increase in total employment, 
or if total employment declines at a greater rate than the increase in incident rates, the number of claims in the workers’ compensation 
market will decrease and may adversely affect Concentra’s business.

If Concentra loses several significant employer customers, its results may be adversely affected.

Concentra’s results may decline if it loses several significant employer customers. One or more of Concentra’s significant 
employer customers could be acquired. Additionally, Concentra could lose significant employer customers due to competitive 
pricing pressures or other reasons. The loss of several significant employer customers could cause a material decline in Concentra’s 
profitability and operating performance.

Significant legal actions could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities.

Physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare providers have become subject to an increasing number of legal actions alleging 
malpractice, product liability, or related legal theories. Many of these actions involve large claims and significant defense costs. 
We are also subject to lawsuits under federal and state whistleblower statutes designed to combat fraud and abuse in the healthcare 
industry. These whistleblower lawsuits are not covered by insurance and can involve significant monetary damages and award 
bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits. See “Legal Proceedings” and Note 17 in our audited consolidated 
financial statements.

We currently maintain professional malpractice liability insurance and general liability insurance coverages through a number 
of different programs that are dependent upon such factors as the state where we are operating and whether the operations are 
wholly owned or are operated through a joint venture.  For our wholly owned operations, we currently maintain insurance coverages 
under a combination of policies with a total annual aggregate limit of up to $40.0 million. Our insurance for the professional 
liability  coverage  is  written  on  a  “claims-made”  basis,  and  our  commercial  general  liability  coverage  is  maintained  on  an 
“occurrence” basis. These coverages apply after a self-insured retention limit is exceeded.  For our joint venture operations, we 
have numerous programs that are designed to respond to the risks of the specific joint venture.  The annual aggregate limit under 
these programs ranges from $5.0 million to $20.0 million.  The policies are generally written on a “claims-made” basis.  Each of 
these programs has either a deductible or self-insured retention limit. We review our insurance program annually and may make 
adjustments to the amount of insurance coverage and self-insured retentions in future years. In addition, our insurance coverage 
does not generally cover punitive damages and may not cover all claims against us. See “Business—Government Regulations—
Other Healthcare Regulations.”

Concentration of ownership among our existing executives and directors may prevent new investors from influencing significant 
corporate decisions.

Our executives and directors, beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 19.5% of Holdings’ outstanding common 
stock as of February 1, 2019. As a result, these stockholders have significant control over our management and policies and are 
able to exercise influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of our 
certificate of incorporation, and approval of significant corporate transactions. The directors elected by these stockholders are able 
to make decisions affecting our capital structure, including decisions to issue additional capital stock, implement stock repurchase 
programs, and incur indebtedness. This influence may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers, delaying or preventing changes 
in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our other stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem 
to be in their best interest.

35

Risks Related to Our Capital Structure

If WCAS and the other members of Concentra Group Holdings Parent or Dignity Health exercise their Put Right, it may have 
an adverse effect on our liquidity. Additionally, we may not have adequate funds to pay amounts due in connection with the 
Put Right, if exercised, in which case we would be required to issue Holdings’ common stock to purchase interests of Concentra 
Group Holdings Parent and our stockholders’ ownership interest will be diluted.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Concentra Group Holdings Parent, WCAS 
and the other members of Concentra Group Holdings Parent and Dignity Health have separate put rights (each, a “Put Right”) 
with respect to their equity interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent. If a Put Right is exercised by WCAS or Dignity Health, 
Select will be obligated to purchase up to 331/3% of the equity interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent that WCAS or 
Dignity Health, respectively, owned as of February 1, 2018, at a purchase price based on a valuation of Concentra Group Holdings 
Parent performed by an investment bank to be agreed between Select and one of WCAS or Dignity Health, which valuation will 
be based on certain precedent transactions using multiples of EBITDA (as defined in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability 
Company Agreement of Concentra Group Holdings Parent) and capped at an agreed upon multiple of EBITDA. Select has the 
right to elect to pay the purchase price in cash or in shares of Holdings’ common stock. WCAS and Dignity Health may first 
exercise their respective Put Right during a sixty-day period following the second anniversary of the date of the Amended and 
Restated LLC Agreement in 2020, and then may exercise their respective Put Right again annually during a sixty-day period in 
each calendar year thereafter. If WCAS exercises its Put Right, the other members of Concentra Group Holdings Parent, other 
than Dignity Health, may elect to sell to Select, on the same terms as WCAS, a percentage of their equity interests of Concentra 
Group Holdings Parent that such member owned as of the date of the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement, up to but not 
exceeding the percentage of equity interests owned by WCAS as of the date of the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement that 
WCAS has determined to sell to Select in the exercise of its Put Right.

Furthermore, WCAS, Dignity Health, and the other members of Concentra Group Holdings Parent have a put right with 
respect to their equity interest in Concentra Group Holdings Parent that may only be exercised in the event Holdings or Select 
experiences a change of control that has not been previously approved by WCAS and Dignity Health, and which results in change 
in the senior management of Select (an “SEM COC Put Right”). If an SEM COC Put Right is exercised by WCAS, Select will be 
obligated to purchase all (but not less than all) of the equity interests of WCAS and the other members of Concentra Group Holdings 
Parent (other than Dignity Health) offered by such members at a purchase price based on a valuation of Concentra Group Holdings 
Parent performed by an investment bank to be agreed between Select and one of WCAS or Dignity Health, which valuation will 
be based on certain precedent transactions using multiples of EBITDA and capped at an agreed upon multiple of EBITDA. Similarly, 
if an SEM COC Put Right is exercised by Dignity Health, Select will be obligated to purchase all (but not less than all) of the 
equity interests of Dignity Health at a purchase price based on a valuation of Concentra Group Holdings Parent performed by an 
investment bank to be agreed between Select and one of WCAS or Dignity Health, which valuation will be based on certain 
precedent transactions using multiples of EBITDA and capped at an agreed upon multiple of EBITDA.

We may not have sufficient funds, borrowing capacity, or other capital resources available to pay for the interests of Concentra 
Group Holdings Parent in cash if WCAS, Dignity Health, and the other members of Concentra Group Holdings Parent exercise 
the Put Right or the SEM COC Put Right, or may be prohibited from doing so under the terms of our debt agreements. Such lack 
of available funds upon the exercising of the Put Right or the SEM COC Put Right would force us to issue stock at a time we 
might not otherwise desire to do so in order to purchase the interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent. To the extent that the 
interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent are purchased by issuing shares of our common stock, the increase in the number 
of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding may depress the price of our common stock and our stockholders will 
experience dilution in their respective percentage ownership in us. In addition, shares issued to purchase the interests in Concentra 
Group Holdings Parent will be valued at the twenty-one trading day volume-weighted average sales price of such shares for the 
period beginning ten trading days immediately preceding the first public announcement of the Put Right or the SEM COC Put 
Right being exercised and ending ten trading days immediately following such announcement. Because the value of the common 
stock issued to purchase the interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent is, in part, determined by the sales price of our common 
stock following the announcement that the Put Right or the SEM COC Put Right is being exercised, which may cause the sales 
price of our common stock to decline, the amount of common stock we may have to issue to purchase the interests in Concentra 
Group Holdings Parent may increase, resulting in further dilution to our existing stockholders.

36

Our substantial indebtedness may limit the amount of cash flow available to invest in the ongoing needs of our business.

We have a substantial amount of indebtedness.  As of December 31, 2018, Select had approximately $1,892.7 million of 
total indebtedness, and Concentra had approximately $1,400.7 million of total indebtedness. As of December 31, 2018, our total 
indebtedness was $3,293.4 million. Our indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For example, it:

•

•

•

requires us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness,
reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, development activity,
acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes;

increases our vulnerability to adverse general economic or industry conditions;

limits our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or the industries in which we operate;

• makes us more vulnerable to increases in interest rates, as borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities are at

variable rates;

•

•

limits our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital or other purposes; and

places us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less indebtedness.

Any of these consequences could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, 
prospects, and ability to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness. In addition, there would be a material adverse effect on 
our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows if we were unable to service our indebtedness or obtain 
additional financing, as needed.

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital 

Resources.”

The Select credit facilities and the indenture governing Select’s 6.375% senior notes require Select to comply with certain 
financial covenants and obligations, the default of which may result in the acceleration of certain of Select’s indebtedness.

In the case of an event of default under the agreements governing the Select credit facilities (as defined below), the lenders 
under such agreements could elect to declare all amounts borrowed, together with accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, to 
be due and payable. If Select is unable to obtain a waiver from the requisite lenders under such circumstances, these lenders could 
exercise their rights, then Select’s financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected, and Select could 
become bankrupt or insolvent.

The Select credit facilities require Select to maintain a leverage ratio (based upon the ratio of indebtedness to consolidated 
EBITDA as defined in the agreements governing the Select credit facilities), which is tested quarterly. Failure to comply with 
these covenants would result in an event of default under the Select credit facilities and, absent a waiver or an amendment from 
the lenders, preclude Select from making further borrowings under its revolving facility and permit the lenders to accelerate all 
outstanding borrowings under the Select credit facilities.

As of December 31, 2018, Select was required to maintain its leverage ratio (its ratio of total indebtedness to consolidated 
EBITDA for the prior four consecutive fiscal quarters) at less than 6.25 to 1.00. At December 31, 2018, Select’s leverage ratio 
was 4.64 to 1.00.

While Select has never defaulted on compliance with any of its financial covenants, Select’s ability to comply with these 
ratios in the future may be affected by events beyond its control. Inability to comply with the required financial covenants could 
result in a default under the Select credit facilities. In the event of any default under Select’s credit facilities, the lenders could 
elect to terminate borrowing commitments and declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and 
other fees, to be immediately due and payable. In the event of any default under Select’s indenture, the trustee or holders of 25% 
of the notes could declare all outstanding 6.375% senior notes immediately due and payable.

37

The Concentra credit facilities require Concentra to comply with certain financial covenants and obligations, the default of 
which may result in the acceleration of certain of Concentra’s indebtedness.

In the case of an event of default under the agreements governing the Concentra credit facilities (as defined below), which 
is nonrecourse to Select, the lenders under such agreements could elect to declare all amounts borrowed, together with accrued 
and unpaid interest and other fees, to be due and payable. If Concentra is unable to obtain a waiver from these lenders under such 
circumstances, the lenders could exercise their rights, then Concentra’s financial condition and results of operations could be 
adversely affected, and Concentra could become bankrupt or insolvent.

The Concentra first lien credit agreement (as defined below) requires Concentra to maintain a leverage ratio (based upon 
the ratio of indebtedness for money borrowed to consolidated EBITDA) of 5.75 to 1.00, which is tested quarterly, but only if 
Revolving Exposure (as defined in the Concentra credit facilities) exceeds 30% of Revolving Commitments (as defined in the 
Concentra credit facilities) on such day. Failure to comply with this covenant would result in an event of default under the Concentra 
revolving facility (as defined below) only and, absent a waiver or an amendment from the lenders, preclude Concentra from making 
further borrowings under the Concentra revolving facility and permit the lenders to accelerate all outstanding borrowings under 
the Concentra revolving facility. Upon such acceleration, Concentra’s failure to comply with the financial covenant would result 
in an Event of Default (as defined in the Concentra credit facilities) with respect to the Concentra first lien term loan (as defined 
below). Upon the acceleration of outstanding borrowings under the Concentra revolving facility and the Concentra first lien term 
loan, an Event of Default would result with respect to the Concentra second lien credit agreement.

The  Concentra  credit  facilities  also  contain  a  number  of  affirmative  and  restrictive  covenants,  including  limitations  on 
mergers, consolidations, and dissolutions; sales of assets; investments and acquisitions; indebtedness; liens; affiliate transactions; 
and dividends and restricted payments. The Concentra credit facilities contain events of default for non-payment of principal and 
interest when due (subject to a grace period for interest), cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions and an event of default 
that would be triggered by a change of control.

While Concentra has never defaulted on compliance with any of its financial covenants, Concentra’s ability to comply with 
these ratios in the future may be affected by events beyond our control. Inability to comply with the required financial covenants 
could result in a default under the Concentra credit facilities. In the event of any default under the Concentra credit facilities, the 
lenders could elect to terminate borrowing commitments and declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid 
interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable.

Payment of interest on, and repayment of principal of, our indebtedness is dependent in part on cash flow generated by our 
subsidiaries.

Payment of interest on, and repayment of, principal of our indebtedness will be dependent in part upon cash flow generated 
by our subsidiaries and their ability to make such cash available to us, by dividend, debt repayment, or otherwise. Our subsidiaries 
may not be able to, or be permitted to, make distributions to enable us to make payments in respect of our indebtedness. For 
example, as a general matter, Concentra is restricted from paying dividends under the Concentra credit facilities and therefore we 
cannot rely on Concentra’s cash flow to repay Select’s indebtedness. Each of our subsidiaries is a distinct legal entity and, under 
certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions may limit our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries. In the event 
that we do not receive distributions from our subsidiaries, we may be unable to make required principal and interest payments on 
our indebtedness. In addition, any payment of interest, dividends, distributions, loans, or advances by our subsidiaries to us could 
be subject to restrictions on dividends or repatriation of distributions under applicable local law, monetary transfer restrictions, 
and foreign currency exchange regulations in the jurisdictions in which the subsidiaries operate or under arrangements with local 
partners. Furthermore, the ability of our subsidiaries to make such payments of interest, dividends, distributions, loans, or advances 
may be contested by taxing authorities in the relevant jurisdictions.

Despite our substantial level of indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur additional indebtedness. This could 
further exacerbate the risks described above.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur additional indebtedness in the future. Although the Select credit facilities and 
the Concentra credit facilities contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a 
number of qualifications and exceptions, and the indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. 
Also, these restrictions do not prevent us or our subsidiaries from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. As of 
December 31, 2018, Select had $392.5 million of availability under the Select revolving facility (as defined below) (after giving 
effect to $37.5 million of outstanding letters of credit) and Concentra had $62.3 million of availability under the Concentra revolving 
facility (after giving effect to $12.7 million of outstanding letters of credit). In addition, to the extent new debt is added to us and 
our subsidiaries’ current debt levels, the substantial leverage risks described above would increase.

38

Concentra’s inability to meet the conditions and payments under the Concentra credit facilities, although nonrecourse to Select, 
could jeopardize Select’s equity contribution to Concentra Group Holdings Parent.

Select is not a party to the Concentra credit facilities and is not an obligor with respect to Concentra’s debt under such 
agreements; however, if Concentra fails to meet its obligations and defaults on the Concentra credit facilities, a portion of or all 
of Select’s equity investment in Concentra Group Holdings Parent, the indirect parent company of Concentra, could be at risk of 
loss.

We may be unable to refinance our debt on terms favorable to us or at all, which would negatively impact our business and 
financial condition.

We are subject to risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient to 
meet required payments of principal and interest. While we intend to refinance all of our indebtedness before it matures, there can 
be no assurance that we will be able to refinance any maturing indebtedness, that such refinancing will be on terms as favorable 
to us as the terms of the maturing indebtedness or, if the indebtedness cannot be refinanced, that we will be able to otherwise 
obtain funds by selling assets or raising equity to make required payments on our maturing indebtedness. Furthermore, if prevailing 
interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing result in higher interest rates upon refinancing, then the interest expense 
relating to that refinanced indebtedness would increase. If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness at or before maturity or 
otherwise meet our payment obligations, our business and financial condition will be negatively impacted, and we may be in 
default under our indebtedness. Any default under the Select credit facilities would permit lenders to foreclose on our assets and 
would also be deemed a default under the indenture governing Select’s 6.375% senior notes, which may also result in the acceleration 
of that indebtedness, and, although Select is not a party to the Concentra credit facilities and is not an obligor with respect to 
Concentra’s debt under such agreements, if Concentra fails to meet its obligations and defaults on the Concentra credit facilities, 
a portion of or all of Select’s equity investment in Concentra Group Holdings Parent, the indirect parent company of Concentra, 
could be at risk of loss.

Our Concentra segment also had operations in New York, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings.

We are a party to various legal actions, proceedings, and claims (some of which are not insured), and regulatory and other 
governmental audits and investigations in the ordinary course of its business. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of pending 
litigation, proceedings, and regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations. These matters could potentially subject 
us to sanctions, damages, recoupments, fines, and other penalties. The Department of Justice, CMS, or other federal and state 
enforcement and regulatory agencies may conduct additional investigations related to our businesses in the future that may, either 
individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, and 
liquidity.

To address claims arising out of the our operations, we maintain professional malpractice liability insurance and general 
liability insurance coverages through a number of different programs that are dependent upon such factors as the state where we 
are  operating  and  whether  the  operations  are  wholly  owned  or  are  operated  through  a  joint  venture.    For  our  wholly  owned 
operations, we currently maintain insurance coverages under a combination of policies with a total annual aggregate limit of up 
to $40.0 million. Our insurance for the professional liability coverage is written on a “claims-made” basis, and our commercial 
general liability coverage is maintained on an “occurrence” basis. These coverages apply after a self-insured retention limit is 
exceeded.  For our joint venture operations, we have numerous programs that are designed to respond to the risks of the specific 
joint venture.  The annual aggregate limit under these programs ranges from $5.0 million to $20.0 million.  The policies are 
generally written on a “claims-made” basis.  Each of these programs has either a deductible or self-insured retention limit. We 
review our insurance program annually and may make adjustments to the amount of insurance coverage and self-insured retentions 
in future years. We also maintain umbrella liability insurance covering claims which, due to their nature or amount, are not covered 
by or not fully covered by our other insurance policies. These insurance policies also do not generally cover punitive damages 
and are subject to various deductibles and policy limits. Significant legal actions, as well as the cost and possible lack of available 
insurance, could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities. In our opinion, the outcome of these actions, individually or in the 
aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Healthcare providers are subject to lawsuits under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act. Qui tam lawsuits 
typically remain under seal (hence, usually unknown to the defendant) for some time while the government decides whether or 
not to intervene on behalf of a private qui tam plaintiff (known as a relator) and take the lead in the litigation. These lawsuits can 
involve significant monetary damages and penalties and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits. We 
are and have been a defendant in these cases in the past, and may be named as a defendant in similar cases from time to time in 
the future.

Evansville Litigation

On October 19, 2015, the plaintiff-relators filed a Second Amended Complaint in United States of America, ex rel. Tracy 
Conroy, Pamela Schenk and  Lisa Wilson  v. Select Medical Corporation,  Select Specialty Hospital—Evansville, LLC (“SSH-
Evansville”), Select Employment Services, Inc., and Dr. Richard Sloan. The case is a civil action filed in the United States District 
Court for the Southern District of Indiana by private plaintiff-relators on behalf of the United States under the federal False Claims 
Act. The plaintiff-relators are the former CEO and two former case managers at SSH-Evansville, and the defendants currently 
include us, SSH-Evansville, one of our subsidiaries serving as common paymaster for its employees, and a physician who practices 
at  SSH-Evansville.  The  plaintiff-relators  allege  that  SSH-Evansville  discharged  patients  too  early  or  held  patients  too  long, 
improperly discharged patients to and readmitted them from short stay hospitals, up-coded diagnoses at admission, and admitted 
patients for whom long term acute care was not medically necessary. They also allege that the defendants engaged in retaliation 
in violation of federal and state law. The Second Amended Complaint replaced a prior complaint that was filed under seal on 
September 28, 2012 and served on us on February 15, 2013, after a federal magistrate judge unsealed it on January 8, 2013. All 
deadlines in the case had been stayed after the seal was lifted in order to allow the government time to complete its investigation 
and to decide whether or not to intervene. On June 19, 2015, the United States Department of Justice notified the District Court 
of its decision not to intervene in the case.

In December 2015, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on multiple grounds, including 
that the action is disallowed by the False Claims Act’s public disclosure bar, which disqualifies qui tam actions that are based on 
fraud already publicly disclosed through enumerated sources, unless the relator is an original source, and that the plaintiff-relators 
did not plead their claims with sufficient particularity, as required by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Thereafter, the United States filed a notice asserting a veto of the defendants’ use of the public disclosure bar for claims 
arising from conduct from and after March 23, 2010, which was based on certain statutory changes to the public disclosure bar 
language included in the ACA. On September 30, 2016, the District Court partially granted and partially denied the defendants’ 
motion to dismiss. It ruled that the plaintiff-relators alleged substantially the same conduct as had been publicly disclosed and that 
the plaintiff-relators are not original sources, so that the public disclosure bar requires dismissal of all non-retaliation claims arising 
from conduct before March 23, 2010. The District Court also ruled that the statutory changes to the public disclosure bar gave the 
United States the power to veto its applicability to claims arising from conduct on and after March 23, 2010, and therefore did 
not dismiss those claims based on the public disclosure bar. However, the District Court ruled that the plaintiff-relators did not 
plead certain of their claims relating to interrupted stay manipulation and premature discharging of patients with the requisite 
particularity, and dismissed those claims. The District Court declined to dismiss the plaintiff-relators’ claims arising from conduct 
from and after March 23, 2010 relating to delayed discharging of patients and up-coding and the plaintiff-relators’ retaliation 
claims. The plaintiff-relators then proposed a case management plan seeking nationwide discovery involving all of the Company’s 
LTCHs for the period from March 23, 2010 through the present and allowing discovery that would facilitate the use of statistical 
sampling  to  prove  liability,  which  the  Select  defendants  opposed.  In  April  2018,  a  U.S.  magistrate  judge  ruled  that  the 
plaintiff  relators’ discovery will be limited to only SSH-Evansville for the period from March 23, 2010 through September 30, 
2016, and that the plaintiff  relators will be required to prove the fraud that they allege on a claim-by-claim basis, rather than using 
statistical sampling. The plaintiff-relators have appealed this decision to the District Judge.

We intend to vigorously defend this action, but at this time we are unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.

Wilmington Litigation

On January 19, 2017, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware unsealed a qui tam Complaint in United 
States of America and State of Delaware ex rel. Theresa Kelly v. Select Specialty Hospital—Wilmington, Inc. (“SSH-Wilmington”), 
Select Specialty Hospitals, Inc., Select Employment Services, Inc., Select Medical Corporation, and Crystal Cheek, No. 16-347-
LPS. The complaint was initially filed under seal in May 2016 by a former chief nursing officer at SSH-Wilmington and was 
unsealed after the United States filed a Notice of Election to Decline Intervention in January 2017. The corporate defendants were 
served in March 2017. In the complaint, the plaintiff-relator alleges that the Select defendants and an individual defendant, who 
is a former health information manager at SSH-Wilmington, violated the False Claims Act and the Delaware False Claims and 
Reporting Act based on allegedly falsifying medical practitioner signatures on medical records and failing to properly examine 
the credentials of medical practitioners at SSH-Wilmington. In response to the Select defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, 
in May 2017, the plaintiff-relator filed an amended complaint asserting the same causes of action. The Select defendants filed a 
motion to dismiss the amended complaint based on numerous grounds, including that the amended complaint did not plead any 
alleged fraud with sufficient particularity, failed to plead that the alleged fraud was material to the government’s payment decision, 
failed to plead sufficient facts to establish that the Select defendants knowingly submitted false claims or records, and failed to 
allege any reverse false claim. In March 2018, the District Court dismissed the plaintiff  relator’s claims related to the alleged 
failure to properly examine medical practitioners’ credentials, her reverse false claims allegations, and her claim that the Select 
defendants violated the Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act.  It denied the Select defendants’ motion to dismiss claims that 
the allegedly falsified medical practitioner signatures violated the False Claims Act. Separately, the District Court dismissed the 
individual defendant due to the plaintiff-relator’s failure to timely serve the amended complaint upon her.

In March 2017, the plaintiff-relator initiated a second action by filing a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of 
Delaware in Theresa Kelly v. Select Medical Corporation, Select Employment Services, Inc. and SSH-Wilmington, C.A. No. 
N17C-03-293  CLS.  The  Delaware  complaint  alleges  that  the  defendants  retaliated  against  her  in  violation  of  the  Delaware 
Whistleblowers’  Protection Act for reporting the same alleged violations that are the subject of the federal amended complaint. 
The defendants filed a motion to dismiss, or alternatively to stay, the Delaware complaint based on the pending federal amended 
complaint and the failure to allege facts to support a violation of the Delaware Whistleblowers’ Protection Act. In January 2018, 
the Court stayed the Delaware complaint pending the outcome of the federal case.

We intend to vigorously defend these actions, but at this time we are unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.

Contract Therapy Subpoena

On May 18, 2017, we received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey seeking various 
documents principally relating to our contract therapy division, which contracted to furnish rehabilitation therapy services to 
residents of skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) and other providers. We operated our contract therapy division through a subsidiary 
until March 31, 2016, when we sold the stock of the subsidiary. The subpoena seeks documents that appear to be aimed at assessing 
whether therapy services were furnished and billed in compliance with Medicare SNF billing requirements, including whether 
therapy services were coded at inappropriate levels and whether excessive or unnecessary therapy was furnished to justify coding 
at higher paying levels. We do not know whether the subpoena has been issued in connection with a qui tam lawsuit or in connection 
with possible civil, criminal, or administrative proceedings by the government. We are producing documents in response to the 
subpoena and intends to fully cooperate with this investigation. At this time, we are unable to predict the timing and outcome of 
this matter.

PART II

Item 5.    Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Market Information

Select Medical Holdings Corporation common stock is quoted on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SEM.” 

Holders

At the close of business on February 1, 2019, Holdings had 135,262,167 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. 
As of that date, there were 123 registered holders of record. This does not reflect beneficial stockholders who hold their stock in 
nominee or “street” name through brokerage firms.

Dividend Policy

Holdings has not paid or declared any dividends on its common stock at any point during the last three fiscal years. We do 
not anticipate paying any further dividends on Holdings’ common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings 
to finance the ongoing operations and growth of our business. Any future determination relating to our dividend policy will be 
made at the discretion of Holdings’ board of directors and will depend on conditions at that time, including our financial condition, 
results of operations, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects, and other factors the board of directors 
may deem relevant. Additionally, certain contractual agreements we are party to, including the Select credit facilities and the 
Indenture governing Select’s 6.375% senior notes, restrict our capacity to pay dividends.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company refinanced the term loans under Select’s 2011 senior secured
credit facility. A loss on early retirement of debt of $2.3 million was recognized for unamortized debt issuance costs,
unamortized original issue discount, and certain fees incurred in connection with the term loan modifications.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognized a loss on early retirement debt of $0.8 million
relating to the repayment of series D tranche B term loans under Select’s 2011 senior secured credit facility. Additionally,
on September 26, 2016, Concentra prepaid the second lien term loan under its credit facilities. The premium plus the
expensing of unamortized deferred financing costs and original issuance discount resulted in a loss on early retirement
of debt of $10.9 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company refinanced Select’s 2011 senior secured credit facility. A loss
on early retirement of debt of $19.7 million was recognized for unamortized debt issuance costs, unamortized original
issue discount, and certain fees incurred in connection with the refinancing.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company refinanced the Select and Concentra credit facilities. A loss on

Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

        You should read this discussion together with the “Selected Financial Data” and consolidated financial statements and 
accompanying notes included elsewhere herein.

Overview

We began operations in 1997 and, based on the number of facilities, are one of the largest operators of critical illness recovery 
hospitals (previously referred to as long term acute care hospitals), rehabilitation hospitals (previously referred to as inpatient 
rehabilitation facilities), outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and occupational health centers in the United States. As of December 31, 
2018, we had operations in 47 states and the District of Columbia. As of December 31, 2018, we operated 96 critical illness 
recovery hospitals in 27 states, 26 rehabilitation hospitals in 11 states, and 1,662 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 37 states and 
the District of Columbia.  As of December 31, 2018, Concentra, a joint venture subsidiary, operated 524 occupational health centers 
in 41 states. Concentra also provides contract services at employer worksites and Department of Veterans Affairs community-
based outpatient clinics (“CBOCs”).

Our  reportable  segments  include  the  critical  illness  recovery  hospital  segment,  the  rehabilitation  hospital  segment,  the 
outpatient rehabilitation segment, and the Concentra segment. Financial information for each of our segments reflects the current 
reportable segment structure. We had net operating revenues of $5,081.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Of this 
total, we earned approximately 34% of our net operating revenues from our critical illness recovery hospital segment, approximately 
14% from our rehabilitation hospital segment, approximately 21% from our outpatient rehabilitation segment, and approximately 
31% from our Concentra segment. Our critical illness recovery hospital segment consists of hospitals designed to serve the needs 
of patients recovering from critical illnesses, often with complex medical needs, and our rehabilitation hospital segment consists 
of hospitals designed to serve patients that require intensive physical rehabilitation care. Patients are typically admitted to our 
critical  illness  recovery  hospitals  and  rehabilitation  hospitals  from  general  acute  care  hospitals.  Our  outpatient  rehabilitation 
segment consists of clinics that provide physical, occupational, and speech rehabilitation services. Our Concentra segment consists 
of occupational health centers that provide workers’ compensation injury care, physical therapy, and consumer health services as 
well  as  onsite  clinics  located  at  employer  worksites  that  deliver  occupational  medicine  services. Additionally,  our  Concentra 
segment delivers veteran’s healthcare through its Department of Veterans Affairs CBOCs.

Non-GAAP Measure

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, is important to investors because Adjusted EBITDA 
is commonly used as an analytical indicator of performance by investors within the healthcare industry. Adjusted EBITDA is used 
by management to evaluate financial performance and determine resource allocation for each of our operating segments. Adjusted 
EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 
(“GAAP”).  Items  excluded  from  Adjusted  EBITDA  are  significant  components  in  understanding  and  assessing  financial 
performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, net income, income 
from operations, cash flows generated by operations, investing or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented 
in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a 
measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as presented 
may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on 
early  retirement  of  debt,  stock  compensation  expense,  acquisition  costs  associated  with  Concentra,  Physiotherapy,  and  U.S. 
HealthWorks, non-operating gain (loss), and equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries. We will refer to Adjusted 
EBITDA throughout the remainder of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The table contained within “Selected Financial Data” reconciles net income and income from operations to Adjusted EBITDA 

and should be referenced when we discuss Adjusted EBITDA.

 Summary Financial Results

Year Ended December 31, 2018

For the year ended December 31, 2018, our net operating revenues increased 16.4% to $5,081.3 million, compared to $4,365.2 
million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Income from operations increased 17.3% to $417.3 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2018, compared to $355.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. 

Net income was $176.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $220.6 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2017.  For the year ended December 31, 2018, net income included a pre-tax loss on early retirement of debt of 
$14.2 million, pre-tax non-operating gains of $9.0 million, and pre-tax U.S. HealthWorks acquisition costs of $2.9 million. For 
the year ended December 31, 2017, net income included a pre-tax loss on early retirement of debt of $19.7 million, pre-tax U.S. 
HealthWorks acquisition costs of $2.8 million, and an income tax benefit of $71.5 million resulting primarily from the effects of 
the federal tax reform legislation enacted on December 22, 2017. The decrease in net income was principally due to the income 
tax benefit recognized during the year ended December 31, 2017, as discussed above.

Our Adjusted EBITDA increased 19.9% to $645.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $538.0 
million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 12.7% for the year ended December 31, 
2018, compared to 12.3% for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Year Ended December 31, 2017 

For the year ended December 31, 2017, our net operating revenues increased 3.5% to $4,365.2 million, compared to $4,217.5 
million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Income from operations increased 18.7% to $355.9 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2017, compared to $299.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. 

Net income increased 76.1% to $220.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $125.3 million for the 
year ended December 31, 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2017, net income included a pre-tax loss on early retirement of 
debt of $19.7 million, pre-tax U.S. HealthWorks acquisition costs of $2.8 million, and an income tax benefit of $71.5 million 
resulting  primarily  from  the  effects  of  the  federal  tax  reform  legislation  enacted  on  December  22,  2017.  For  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2016, net income included a pre-tax loss on early retirement of debt of $11.6 million, pre-tax non-operating gains 
of $42.7 million, and pre-tax Physiotherapy acquisition costs of $3.2 million. The increase in our net income was principally due 
to an increase in income from operations and the income tax benefit recognized during the year ended December 31, 2017, as 
discussed above. 

Our Adjusted EBITDA increased 15.5% to $538.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $465.8

Significant Events

Acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks 

On  February 1,  2018,  Concentra  acquired  all  of  the  issued  and  outstanding  shares  of  stock  of  U.S.  HealthWorks,  an 
occupational medicine and urgent care provider, pursuant to the terms of an Equity Purchase and Contribution Agreement (the 
“Purchase Agreement”). Concentra acquired U.S. HealthWorks for $753.6 million. DHHC, a subsidiary of Dignity Health, was 
issued a 20% equity interest in Concentra Group Holdings Parent, which was valued at $238.0 million. The remainder of the 
purchase price was paid in cash. Select retained a majority voting interest in Concentra Group Holdings Parent following the 
closing of the transaction.

Concentra used borrowings under the Concentra first lien credit agreement and the Concentra second lien credit agreement, 
as described below, together with cash on hand, to pay the cash purchase price for all of the issued and outstanding stock of U.S. 
HealthWorks to DHHC, to finance the redemption and reorganization transactions executed under the Purchase Agreement, and 
to pay fees and expenses associated with the financing.

Amendments to the Concentra Credit Facilities

On February 1, 2018, in connection with the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks, Concentra entered into Amendment No. 3 to 
the Concentra first lien credit agreement. Among other things, Amendment No. 3 (i)  provided for an additional $555.0 million in 
first lien term loans that, along with the existing first lien term loan under the Concentra first lien credit agreement, have a maturity 
date of June 1, 2022 (collectively, the “Concentra first lien term loan”) and (ii) added an additional $25.0 million of revolving 
loans, that along with the existing $50.0 million revolving loans, comprise the five-year Concentra revolving facility under the 
terms of the existing Concentra first lien credit agreement. Prior to subsequent amendments, the Concentra first lien term loan’s 
interest rate was equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) plus 2.75% (subject to 
an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.00%), or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) plus 
1.75% (subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%). All other material terms and conditions applicable to the original first 
lien term loan commitments were applicable to the additional first lien term loans created under the Concentra first lien credit 
agreement. 

In addition, Concentra entered into the Concentra second lien credit agreement that provided for $240.0 million in term loans 
(the “Concentra second lien term loan”) with a maturity date of June 1, 2023. Borrowings under the Concentra second lien credit 
agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Concentra second lien credit agreement) plus 
6.50% (subject to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.00%), or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Concentra second lien 
credit agreement) plus 5.50% (subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%).

On October 26, 2018, Concentra entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Concentra first lien credit agreement. Among other 
things, Amendment No. 4 (i) provides for an applicable interest rate on the Concentra first lien term loan of the Adjusted LIBO 
Rate (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) plus a percentage ranging from 2.50% to 2.75% (with 2.75% being 
the initial rate), or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) plus a percentage ranging from 
1.50% to 1.75% (with 1.75% being the initial rate), in each case subject to a specified credit rating, and (ii) decreases the applicable 
interest rate on the loans outstanding under the Concentra revolving facility from the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging 
from 2.75% to 3.00% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.25% to 2.50%, or from the Alternate Base Rate 
plus a percentage ranging from 1.75% to 2.00% to the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.25% to 1.50%, in 
each case subject to Concentra’s leverage ratio (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement). As amended, the Adjusted 
LIBO Rate and Alternate Base Rate under the Concentra first lien credit agreement are no longer subject to a floor.

Amendments to the Select Credit Facilities

On March 22, 2018, Select entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Select credit agreement dated March 6, 2017. Amendment 
No. 1 (i) decreased the applicable interest rate on the Select term loan from the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Select credit 
agreement and subject to an Adjusted LIBO floor of 1.00%) plus 3.50% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging 
from 2.50% to 2.75%, or from the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Select credit agreement and subject to an Alternate Base 
Rate floor of 2.00%) plus 2.50% to the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.50% to 1.75%, in each case subject 
to a specified leverage ratio; (ii) decreased the applicable interest rate on the loans outstanding under the Select revolving facility 
from the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 3.00% to 3.25% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging 
from 2.50% to 2.75%, or from the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.00% to 2.25% to the Alternate Base Rate 
plus a percentage ranging from 1.50% to 1.75%, in each case subject to a specified leverage ratio; (iii) extended the maturity date 
for the Select term loan from March 6, 2024, to March 6, 2025; and (iv) made certain other technical amendments to the Select 
credit agreement as set forth therein.

54

On October 26, 2018, Select entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Select credit agreement. Among other things, Amendment 
No. 2 (i) decreased the applicable interest rate on the Select term loan from the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Select credit 
agreement) plus a percentage ranging from 2.50% to 2.75% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.25% to 
2.50%, or from the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Select credit agreement) plus a percentage ranging from 1.50% to 1.75% 
to the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.25% to 1.50%, in each case subject to a specified leverage ratio (as 
defined in the Select credit agreement), and (ii) decreased the applicable interest rate on the loans outstanding under the Select 
revolving facility from the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.50% to 2.75% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 
a percentage ranging from 2.25% to 2.50%, or from the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Select credit agreement) plus a 
percentage ranging from 1.50% to 1.75% to the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.25% to 1.50%, in each case 
subject to a specified leverage ratio. As amended, the Adjusted LIBO Rate and Alternate Base Rate under the Select credit agreement 
are no longer subject to the floor.

Regulatory Changes

The Medicare program reimburses us for services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries, which are generally persons age 65 
and older, those who are chronically disabled, and those suffering from end stage renal disease. The program is governed by the 
Social  Security Act  of  1965  and  is  administered  primarily  by  the  Department  of  Health  and  Human  Services  and  CMS.  Net 
operating revenues generated directly from the Medicare program represented approximately 30%, 30%, and 27% of the Company’s 
net operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017, and 2018, respectively. 

The  Medicare  program  reimburses  various  types  of  providers  using  different  payment  methodologies.  Those  payment 
methodologies are complex and are described elsewhere in this report under “Business—Government Regulations.” The following 
is a summary of some of the more significant healthcare regulatory changes that have affected our financial performance in the 
periods covered by this report or are likely to affect our financial performance and financial condition in the future.

Medicare Reimbursement of LTCH Services

There  have  been  significant  regulatory  changes  affecting  our  critical  illness  recovery  hospitals,  which  are  certified  by 
Medicare as LTCHs, that have affected our net operating revenues and, in some cases, caused us to change our operating models 
and strategies. We have been subject to regulatory changes that occur through the rulemaking procedures of CMS. All Medicare 
payments to our critical illness recovery hospitals are made in accordance with LTCH-PPS. Proposed rules specifically related to 
LTCH-PPS are generally published in May, finalized in August and effective on October 1 of each year.

The following is a summary of significant changes to LTCH-PPS which have affected our results of operations, as well as 

the policies and payment rates that may affect our future results of operations.

Fiscal Year 2017.  On August 22, 2016, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-
PPS  for  fiscal  year  2017  (affecting  discharges  and  cost  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  October 1,  2016  through 
September 30, 2017). The standard federal rate was set at $42,476, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during 
fiscal year 2016 of $41,763. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2017 included a market basket increase of 2.8%, 
less a productivity adjustment of 0.3%, and less a reduction of 0.75% mandated by the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”). The fixed-
loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS was set at $21,943, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 
2016 fiscal year of $16,423. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment rate was set at 
$23,573, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2016 fiscal year of $22,538.

Fiscal Year 2018. On August 14, 2017, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-PPS 
for fiscal year 2018 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2017 through September 30, 
2018). Certain errors in the final rule published on August 14, 2017 were corrected in a final rule published October 4, 2017. The 
standard federal rate was set at $41,415, a decrease from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2017 of $42,476. 
The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2018 included a market basket increase of 2.7%, less a productivity adjustment 
of 0.6%, and less a reduction of 0.75% mandated by the ACA. The update to the standard federal rate for fiscal year 2018 was 
further impacted by the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, which limits the update for fiscal year 2018 to 
1.0%. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS was set at $27,381, an increase from the fixed-loss 
amount in the 2017 fiscal year of $21,943. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-neutral payment 
rate was set at $26,537, an increase from the fixed-loss amount in the 2017 fiscal year of $23,573. 

Fiscal Year 2019.  On August 17, 2018, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the LTCH-
PPS for fiscal year 2019 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2018 through September 
30, 2019). Certain errors in the final rule were corrected in a final rule published October 3, 2018. The standard federal rate was 
set at $41,559, an increase from the standard federal rate applicable during fiscal year 2018 of $41,415. The update to the standard 
federal rate for fiscal year 2019 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.8%, and less a 
reduction of 0.75% mandated by the ACA. The standard federal rate also included an area wage budget-neutrality factor of 0.999215 
and a temporary, one-time budget-neutrality adjustment of 0.990878 in connection with the elimination of the 25 Percent Rule 
(discussed herein). The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under LTCH-PPS was set at $27,121, a decrease from 
the fixed-loss amount in the 2018 fiscal year of $27,381. The fixed-loss amount for high cost outlier cases paid under the site-
neutral payment rate was set at $25,743, a decrease from the fixed-loss amount in the 2018 fiscal year of $26,537.

25 Percent Rule

The “25 Percent Rule” was a downward payment adjustment that applied if the percentage of Medicare patients discharged 
from LTCHs who were admitted from a referring hospital (regardless of whether the LTCH or LTCH satellite is co-located with 
the referring hospital) exceeded the applicable percentage admissions threshold during a particular cost reporting period. 

CMS was precluded from applying the 25 Percent Rule for freestanding LTCHs to cost reporting years beginning before 
July 1, 2016 and for discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2016 and before October 1, 2017. In addition, the law applied 
higher percentage admissions thresholds for most LTCHs operating as HIHs and satellites for cost reporting years beginning before 
July 1, 2016 and effective for discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2016 and before October 1, 2017. 

For fiscal year 2018, CMS adopted a regulatory moratorium on the implementation of the 25 Percent Rule. 

For fiscal year 2019 and thereafter, CMS eliminated the 25 Percent Rule entirely. The elimination of the 25 Percent Rule is 
being implemented in a budget-neutral manner by adjusting the standard federal payment rates down such that the projection of 
aggregate LTCH payments would equal the projection of aggregate LTCH payments that would have been paid if the moratorium 
ended and the 25 Percent Rule went into effect on October 1, 2018. As a result, the elimination of the 25 Percent Rule includes a 
temporary, one-time adjustment of 0.990878 to the fiscal year 2019 LTCH-PPS standard federal payment rate, a temporary, one-
time adjustment of 0.990737 to the fiscal year 2020 LTCH-PPS standard federal payment rate, and a permanent, one-time adjustment 
of 0.991249 to the LTCH-PPS standard federal payment rate in fiscal years 2021 and subsequent years. 

Short Stay Outlier Policy

CMS established a different payment methodology for Medicare patients with a length of stay less than or equal to five-
sixths of the geometric average length of stay for that particular MS-LTC-DRG, referred to as a short stay outlier (“SSO”). SSO 
cases are paid based on a per diem rate derived from blending 120% of the MS-LTC-DRG specific per diem amount with a per 
diem rate based on the general acute care hospital IPPS. Under this policy, as the length of stay of a SSO case increases, the 
percentage of the per diem payment amounts based on the full MS-LTCH-DRG standard federal payment rate increases and the 
percentage of the payment based on the IPPS comparable amount decreases.

Medicare Reimbursement of IRF Services

The following is a summary of significant changes to the Medicare prospective payment system for our rehabilitation hospitals, 
which are certified by Medicare as IRFs, which have affected our results of operations, as well as the policies and payment rates 
that may affect our future results of operations.

Fiscal Year 2017.  On August 5, 2016, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS for 
fiscal year 2017 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2016 through September 30, 
2017). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2017 was set at $15,708, an increase from the standard 
payment conversion factor applicable during fiscal year 2016 of $15,478. The update to the standard payment conversion factor 
for fiscal year 2017 included a market basket increase of 2.7%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.3%, and less a reduction of 
0.75% mandated by the ACA. CMS decreased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2017 to $7,984 from $8,658 established 
in the final rule for fiscal year 2016.

Fiscal Year 2018.   On August 3, 2017, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS 
for fiscal year 2018 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2017 through September 30, 
2018). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2018 was set at $15,838, an increase from the standard 
payment conversion factor applicable during fiscal year 2017 of $15,708. The update to the standard payment conversion factor 
for fiscal year 2018 included a market basket increase of 2.6%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.6%, and less a reduction of 
0.75% mandated by the ACA. The standard payment conversion factor for fiscal year 2018 was further impacted by the Medicare 
Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, which limited the update for fiscal year 2018 to 1.0%. CMS increased the outlier 
threshold amount for fiscal year 2018 to $8,679 from $7,984 established in the final rule for fiscal year 2017.

Fiscal Year 2019.   On August 6, 2018, CMS published the final rule updating policies and payment rates for the IRF-PPS 
for fiscal year 2019 (affecting discharges and cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2018 through September 30, 
2019). The standard payment conversion factor for discharges for fiscal year 2019 was set at $16,021, an increase from the standard 
payment conversion factor applicable during fiscal year 2018 of $15,838. The update to the standard payment conversion factor 
for fiscal year 2019 included a market basket increase of 2.9%, less a productivity adjustment of 0.8%, and less a reduction of 
0.75% mandated by the ACA. CMS increased the outlier threshold amount for fiscal year 2019 to $9,402 from $8,679 established 
in the final rule for fiscal year 2018.

Medicare Reimbursement of Outpatient Rehabilitation Clinic Services

The Medicare program reimburses outpatient rehabilitation providers based on the Medicare physician fee schedule. For 
services provided in 2017 through 2019, a 0.5% update will be applied each year to the fee schedule payment rates, subject to an 
adjustment beginning in 2019 under the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (“MIPS”). For services provided in 2020 through 
2025, a 0.0% percent update will be applied each year to the fee schedule payment rates, subject to adjustments under MIPS and 
the alternative payment models (“APMs”). In 2026 and subsequent years eligible professionals participating in APMs that meet 
certain criteria would receive annual updates of 0.75%, while all other professionals would receive annual updates of 0.25%.

Beginning in 2019, payments under the fee schedule are subject to adjustment based on performance in MIPS, which measures 
performance based on certain quality metrics, resource use, and meaningful use of electronic health records. Under the MIPS 
requirements  a  provider’s  performance  is  assessed  according  to  established  performance  standards  and  used  to  determine  an 
adjustment factor that is then applied to the professional’s payment for a year. Each year from 2019 through 2024 professionals 
who receive a significant share of their revenues through an APM (such as accountable care organizations or bundled payment 
arrangements) that involves risk of financial losses and a quality measurement component will receive a 5% bonus. The bonus 
payment for APM participation is intended to encourage participation and testing of new APMs and to promote the alignment of 
incentives across payors. MIPS and APM apply to physicians and other practitioners included within the definition of “eligible 
clinicians.”  Currently,  physical  therapists  and  occupational  therapists  may  voluntarily  participate  in  MIPS  and APM.    In  the 
Medicare Physician Fee Schedule final rule for calendar year 2019, CMS adopted a final policy to include physical therapists, 
occupational therapists and qualified speech-language pathologists as “eligible clinicians” and require them to participate in these 
programs beginning in the 2021 MIPS payment year.  The specifics of the MIPS and APM adjustments beginning in 2019 and 
2020, respectively, remain subject to future notice and comment rule-making. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we received 
approximately 15% of our outpatient rehabilitation net operating revenues from Medicare.

Therapy Caps

Outpatient therapy providers reimbursed under the Medicare physician fee schedule have been subject to annual limits for 
therapy expenses. For example, for the calendar year beginning January 1, 2017, the annual limit on outpatient therapy services 
was $1,980 for combined physical and speech language pathology services and $1,980 for occupational therapy services. The 
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 repealed the annual limits on outpatient therapy.

The annual limits for therapy expenses historically did not apply to services furnished and billed by outpatient hospital 
departments. However, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 and prior legislation extended the annual 
limits on therapy expenses in hospital outpatient department settings through December 31, 2017. The application of annual limits 
to hospital outpatient department settings sunset on December 31, 2017. 

Prior to calendar year 2028, all therapy claims exceeding $3,000 are subject to a manual medical review process. The $3,000 
threshold is applied to physical therapy and speech therapy services combined and separately applied to occupational therapy. 
CMS will continue to require that an appropriate modifier be included on claims over the current exception threshold indicating 
that the therapy services are medically necessary. Beginning in 2028 and in each calendar year thereafter, the threshold amount 
for claims requiring manual medical review will increase by the percentage increase in the Medicare Economic Index. 

Modifiers to Identify Services of Physical Therapy Assistants or Occupational Therapy Assistants

In the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule final rule for calendar year 2019, CMS established two new modifiers to identify 
services furnished in whole or in part by physical therapy assistants (“PTAs”) or occupational therapy assistants (“OTAs”). These 
modifiers were mandated by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, which requires that claims for outpatient therapy services furnished 
in whole or part by therapy assistants on or after January 1, 2020 include the appropriate modifier. CMS intends to use these 
modifiers to implement a payment differential that would reimburse services provided by PTAs and OTAs at 85% of the fee 
schedule rate beginning on January 1, 2022.

Critical Accounting Matters

Revenue Adjustments

Net operating revenues include amounts estimated by us to be reimbursable by Medicare under prospective payment systems 
and provisions of cost-reimbursement and other payment methods. The amount reimbursed is derived based on the type of services 
provided. Additionally,  we  are  reimbursed  for  healthcare  services  provided  from  various  other  payor  sources  which  include 
insurance companies, workers’ compensation programs, health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, other 
managed care companies and  employers, as  well as patients. We are reimbursed by  these payors using a  variety of  payment 
methodologies. 

On January 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under Topic 606, we recognize a 
contractual  allowance  for  fixed  discounts  based  on  the  difference  between  our  standard  billing  rates  and  the  fees  legislated, 
negotiated or otherwise arranged between us and our patients. Additionally, we are subject to potential retrospective adjustments 
to net operating revenues in future periods, such as for matters related to claims processing and other price concessions. These 
adjustments, which are estimated based on an analysis of historical experience by payor source, are recognized as a constraint to 
revenue in the period services are rendered. Under the previous standard, these adjustments were classified as a component of bad 
debt expense. 

In the critical illness recovery hospital and rehabilitation hospital segments, we estimate our contractual allowances based 
on known contractual provisions associated with the specific payor or, where we have a relatively homogeneous patient population, 
we will monitor individual payors’ historical reimbursement rates to estimate a per diem rate. The estimated per diem rate is used 
to derive the contractual allowance recognized in the period services are rendered. In the outpatient rehabilitation and Concentra 
segments,  we  estimate  our  contractual  allowances  based  on  known  contractual  provisions,  negotiated  amounts,  or  usual  and 
customary amounts associated with the specific payor. We estimate our contractual allowances using internally developed systems 
in which we monitor a payors’ historical reimbursement rates and compare them against the associated gross charges for the service 
provided. The percentage of historical reimbursed claims to gross charges is used to estimate the contractual allowance recognized 
in the period services are rendered. In each of our segments, estimates for potential retrospective adjustments are recognized as 
an additional contractual allowance during the period services are rendered. 

Accounts Receivable

Substantially all of our accounts receivable are related to providing healthcare services to patients whose costs are primarily 
paid by federal and state governmental authorities, managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies, and workers’ 
compensation and employer programs. We report accounts receivable at an amount equal to the consideration we expect to receive 
in exchange for providing healthcare services to our patients, which is estimated using contractual provisions associated with 
specific payors, historical reimbursement rates, and an analysis of past experience to estimate potential retrospective adjustments. 
Amounts that have been deemed to be uncollectible because of circumstances that affect the ability of payors to make payments 
are written-off as bad debt expense as they occur.

Collection of these accounts receivable is our primary source of cash and is critical to our liquidity and capital resources. 
Our  primary  collection  risks  relate  to  non-governmental  payors  who  insure  these  patients  and  deductibles, co-payments,  and 
amounts owed by the patient. Deductibles, co-payments, and self-insured amounts owed by the patient are an immaterial portion 
of our accounts receivable balance and accounted for approximately 0.3% of our net accounts receivable balance at December 31, 
2018. Our general policy is to verify insurance coverage prior to the date of admission for patients admitted to our critical illness 
recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals. Within our outpatient rehabilitation clinics, we verify insurance coverage prior to 
the patient’s visit.  Within our Concentra centers, we verify insurance coverage or receive authorization from the patient’s employer 
prior to the patient’s visit.

Under a number of our insurance programs, which include our employee health insurance, workers’ compensation, and 
professional malpractice liability insurance programs, we are liable for a portion of our losses before we can attempt to recover 
from the applicable insurance carrier. We accrue for losses under an occurrence-based approach, whereby we estimate the losses 
that will be incurred in a respective accounting period and accrue that estimated liability using actuarial methods. We monitor 
these programs quarterly and revise our estimates as necessary to take into account additional information. We recorded a liability 
of $157.1 million and $175.2 million for our estimated losses under these insurance programs at December 31, 2017 and 2018, 
respectively. We also recorded insurance proceeds receivable of $25.8 million and $32.4 million at December 31, 2017 and 2018, 
respectively, for liabilities which exceed the Company’s deductibles and self-insured retention limits and are recoverable through

Goodwill  and  other  indefinite-lived  intangible  assets  are  not  amortized,  but  instead  are  subject  to  periodic  impairment 
evaluations. Impairment tests are required to be conducted at least annually or when events or conditions occur that might suggest 
a possible impairment. These events or conditions include, but are not limited to: a significant adverse change in the business 
environment, regulatory environment, or legal factors; a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of 
such losses or a projection of continuing losses; or a sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. The occurrence 
of one of these events or conditions could significantly impact an impairment assessment, necessitating an impairment charge. 

We may first assess qualitatively if we can conclude whether goodwill is more likely than not impaired. If goodwill is more 
likely than not impaired, we are then required to complete a quantitative analysis of whether a reporting unit’s fair value is less 
than its carrying amount. In evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its 
carrying amount, we consider relevant events or circumstances that affect the fair value or carrying amount of a reporting unit, 
including (i) industry and market conditions, (ii) financial performance, such as negative or declining cash flows, or a decline in 
net operating revenues or earnings compared with actual and forecasted results, (iii) the regulatory environment affecting each of 
our reporting units, including reimbursement and compliance requirements under the Medicare program, and (iv) other factors 
specific to each reporting unit, such as a change in strategy, management, or acquisitions or divestitures affecting the composition 
of the reporting unit. 

60

We consider both the income and market approach in determining the fair value of our reporting units when performing a 
quantitative analysis. Included in the income approach, specific for each reporting unit, are assumptions regarding revenue growth 
rate, future Adjusted EBITDA margin estimates, future general and administrative expense rates, and the industry’s weighted 
average cost of capital and industry specific, market comparable implied Adjusted EBITDA multiples. We also include estimated 
residual values at the end of the forecast period and future capital expenditure requirements. Each of these assumptions requires 
us to use our knowledge of the industry, its recent transactions, and reasonable performance expectations for its operations. If any 
one of the above assumptions changes or fails to materialize, the resulting decline in our estimated fair value could result in an 
impairment charge to the goodwill associated with any one of the reporting units. 

At December 31, 2018, our other indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of certain trademarks, certificates of need, and 
accreditations. To determine the fair value of our trademarks, we use a relief from royalty income approach.  For our certificates 
of need and accreditations, we perform a qualitative assessment. As part of this assessment, we evaluate the current business 
environment, regulatory environment, legal and other company-specific factors. If it is more likely than not that the fair value is 
less than the carrying value, we perform a quantitative impairment test.

Our most recent impairment assessments were completed during the fourth quarter of 2018. We performed a qualitative 
goodwill  impairment  assessment  for  each  of  our  reporting  units  as  of  October 1,  2018. We  did  not  identify  any  instances  of 
impairment with respect to goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets as of October 1, 2018. During the fourth quarters 
of 2016 and 2017, we performed quantitative impairment assessments for each of our reporting units. Our impairment assessments 
completed during these periods did not identify any instances of impairment with respect to goodwill or other indefinite-lived 
intangible assets. 

We have recorded total goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets of $3.8 billion at December 31, 2018, of which $1.1 
billion relates to our critical illness recovery hospital reporting unit, $441.1 million relates to our rehabilitation hospital reporting 
unit, $701.9 million relates to our outpatient rehabilitation reporting unit, and $1.5 billion relates to the Concentra reporting unit.

Realization of Deferred Tax Assets

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized 
in our financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the book and 
tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. 
We also recognize the future tax benefits from net operating loss carryforwards as deferred tax assets. The effect of a change in 
tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. 

We evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets and reduce those assets using a valuation allowance if it is more likely 
than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Among the factors used to assess the likelihood of 
realization are projections of future taxable income streams, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences, 
and the impact of tax planning strategies that could be implemented to avoid the potential loss of future tax benefits. However, 
changes in tax codes, statutory tax rates or future taxable income levels could materially impact our valuation of tax accruals and 
assets and could cause our provision for income taxes to vary significantly from period to period.

At December 31, 2018, we had deferred tax liabilities in excess of deferred tax assets of approximately $135.3 million
principally due to depreciation deductions that have been accelerated for tax purposes and amortization of intangibles and goodwill. 
This amount includes approximately $17.9 million of valuation reserves related primarily to state net operating losses.

Year Ended December 31, 2018 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2017 

In the following, we discuss our results of operations related to net operating revenues, operating expenses, Adjusted EBITDA, 
depreciation and amortization, income from operations, loss on early retirement of debt, equity in earnings of unconsolidated 
subsidiaries, non-operating gain (loss), interest expense, income taxes, and net income attributable to non-controlling interests, 
which, in each case, are the same for Holdings and Select.

Net Operating Revenues

Our net operating revenues increased 16.4% to $5,081.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $4,365.2 

million for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Critical Illness Recovery Hospital Segment.    Net operating revenues increased 1.7% to $1,753.6 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2018, compared to $1,725.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2018, we operated 
96 hospitals, compared to 100 hospitals at December 31, 2017. Despite the decrease in the number of hospitals operated, our 
patient days increased 0.9% to 1,012,368 days for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 1,003,161 days for the year 
ended December 31, 2017 and our occupancy increased to 67% for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 66% for the 
year ended December 31, 2017. Our net revenue per patient day increased 0.7% to $1,716 for the year ended December 31, 2018, 
compared to $1,704 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase principally resulted from changes we experienced in our 
non-Medicare net revenue per patient day during the year ended December 31, 2018. 

Rehabilitation  Hospital  Segment.    Net  operating  revenues  increased  13.7%  to  $707.5  million  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2018, compared to $622.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in net operating revenues 
resulted primarily from an increase in patient volumes during the year ended December 31, 2018. Our patient days increased 16.9%
to 315,468 days for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 269,905 days for the year ended December 31, 2017.  The 
increase in patient days was principally attributable to the maturation of our rehabilitation hospitals which commenced operations 
during 2016 and 2017. Our net revenue per patient day increased 1.8% to $1,606 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared 
to $1,577 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase principally resulted from changes we experienced in our non-
Medicare net revenue per patient day during the year ended December 31, 2018.

Outpatient  Rehabilitation  Segment.    Net  operating  revenues  increased  5.8%  to  $1,062.5  million  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2018, compared to $1,003.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Our net revenue per visit increased 
2.0% to $103 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $101 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Our net revenue 
per visit benefited from improved contracted rates with some of our payors. Additionally, visits increased 1.5% to 8,356,018 for 
the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 8,232,536 visits for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in visits 
resulted from both start-up and newly acquired outpatient rehabilitation clinics, as well as growth within our existing clinics. 
During the year ended December 31, 2018, we also experienced an increase in net operating revenues related to management fees 
and contracted labor services provided to entities in which we have made equity investments.

65

Concentra Segment.    Net operating revenues increased 53.7% to $1,557.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, 
compared to $1,013.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.  The increase in net operating revenues was principally due 
to the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks on February 1, 2018, which contributed $488.8 million of net operating revenues during 
the period. Visits in our centers increased 48.2% to 11,426,940 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 7,709,508 
visits for the year ended December 31, 2017. Net revenue per visit increased 7.8% to $124 for the year ended December 31, 2018, 
compared to $115 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in net revenue per visit was driven principally by U.S. 
HealthWorks visits, which yield higher per visit rates, as well as an increase in workers’ compensation and employer services 
reimbursement rates in our existing Concentra centers.

Operating Expenses

Our  operating  expenses  consist  principally  of  cost  of  services  and  general  and  administrative  expenses.  Our  operating 
expenses were $4,462.3 million, or 87.8% of net operating revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $3,849.4 
million, or 88.2% of net operating revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2017. Our cost of services, a major component of 
which is labor expense, was $4,341.1 million, or 85.4% of net operating revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared 
to $3,735.3 million, or 85.6% of net operating revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2017. The decrease in our operating 
expenses relative to our net operating revenues was principally due to the performance of our rehabilitation hospital segment and 
lower relative operating costs within our Concentra segment as a result of the U.S. HealthWorks acquisition. Facility rent expense 
was $268.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $230.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. 
The  increase  in  our  facility  rent  expense  was  primarily  attributable  to  the  acquisition  of  U.S.  HealthWorks.  General  and 
administrative expenses were $121.3 million, or 2.4% of net operating revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared 
to $114.0 million, or 2.6% of net operating revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2017. General and administrative expenses 
included $2.9 million and $2.8 million of U.S. HealthWorks acquisition costs for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, 
respectively. 

Adjusted EBITDA

Critical Illness Recovery Hospital Segment.    Adjusted EBITDA was $243.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, 
compared to $252.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the critical illness recovery 
hospital segment was 13.9% for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 14.6% for the year ended December 31, 2017. 
Our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were impacted by increases in employee costs and other operating costs, 
relative to our net operating revenues, during the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the year ended December 31, 
2017.

Rehabilitation Hospital Segment.    Adjusted EBITDA increased 21.0% to $108.9 million for the year ended December 31, 
2018, compared to $90.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the rehabilitation 
hospital segment was 15.4% for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 14.5% for the year ended December 31, 2017. 
The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for our rehabilitation hospital segment were primarily driven 
by increases in patient volume within our rehabilitation hospitals that commenced operations during 2016 and 2017, which allowed 
our facilities to operate at lower relative costs compared to the prior period. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted 
EBITDA margins also resulted from an increase in net revenue per patient day, as discussed above under “Net Operating Revenues.” 
Adjusted EBITDA losses in our start-up hospitals were $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $7.5 
million for the year ended December 31, 2017. 

Outpatient Rehabilitation Segment.    Adjusted EBITDA increased 7.1% to $142.0 million for the year ended December 31, 
2018,  compared  to  $132.5  million  for  the  year  ended  December 31,  2017.  Our Adjusted  EBITDA  margin  for  the  outpatient 
rehabilitation segment was 13.4% for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 13.2% for the year ended December 31, 
2017. For the year ended December 31, 2018, our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin increased as a result of an 
increase in patient visits and net revenue per visit, as discussed above under “Net Operating Revenues.”

Concentra Segment.    Adjusted EBITDA increased 59.9% to $252.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared 
to $157.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.  The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was principally due to the operating 
results of U.S. HealthWorks, which we acquired on February 1, 2018. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the Concentra segment 
was 16.2% for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 15.6% for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in 
Adjusted  EBITDA  margin  resulted  from  achieving  lower  relative  operating  costs  across  our  combined  Concentra  and  U.S. 
HealthWorks businesses.

Other.    The Adjusted EBITDA loss was $100.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to an Adjusted 
EBITDA loss of $94.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in our Adjusted EBITDA loss was due to an 
increase in general and administrative costs, which encompass our corporate shared service activities.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense was $201.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $160.0 
million  for  the  year  ended  December 31,  2017.  The  increase  principally  occurred  within  our  Concentra  segment  due  to  the 
acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks.

Income from Operations

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we had income from operations of $417.3 million, compared to $355.9 million for 
the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in income from operations resulted principally from the growth of our Concentra 
segment and the improved performance of our rehabilitation hospital segment, as discussed above.

Loss on Early Retirement of Debt

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we amended Select’s senior secured credit facilities and Concentra’s first lien 
credit agreement which resulted in losses on early retirement of debt of $14.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2017, 
we refinanced Select’s senior secured credit facilities which resulted in a loss on early retirement of debt of $19.7 million. 

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

Our equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries principally relates to rehabilitation businesses in which we are a minority 
owner. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we had equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries of $21.9 million, compared 
to $21.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. 

Non-Operating Gain

We recognized non-operating gains of $9.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The non-operating gains were 

principally attributable to the sale of outpatient rehabilitation clinics to non-consolidating subsidiaries.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $198.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $154.7 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2017. The increase in interest expense was principally due to an increase in our indebtedness as a result of the 
acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks.

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $58.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, which represented an effective 
tax rate of 24.9%. We recorded an income tax benefit of $18.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.  For the year ended 
December 31, 2017, our income tax benefit resulted primarily from the effects of the federal tax reform legislation enacted on 
December 22, 2017. The effects of the federal tax reform legislation on our net deferred tax liability resulted in an income tax 
benefit of $71.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Additionally, we were able to realize the benefit of a prior net 
operating loss deduction of $14.1 million.

Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $39.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 
$43.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The decrease is principally due to a decrease in net income of our joint 
venture subsidiary, Concentra. In 2017, Concentra experienced an increase in net income as a result of an income tax benefit 
generated primarily from the effects of the federal tax reform legislation enacted on December 22, 2017. 

67

Year Ended December 31, 2017 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2016 

In the following, we discuss our results of operations related to net operating revenues, operating expenses, Adjusted EBITDA, 
depreciation and amortization, income from operations, loss on early retirement of debt, equity in earnings of unconsolidated 
subsidiaries, non-operating gain (loss), interest expense, income taxes, and net income attributable to non-controlling interests, 
which, in each case, are the same for Holdings and Select.

Net Operating Revenues

Our net operating revenues increased 3.5% to $4,365.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $4,217.5 

million for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Critical Illness Recovery Hospital Segment.    Net operating revenues were $1,725.0 million for the year ended December 31, 
2017, compared to $1,757.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The decline in net operating revenues was principally 
due to a decrease in patient days as a result of hospital closures. We had 1,003,161 patient days for the year ended December 31, 
2017, compared to 1,041,074 days for the year ended December 31, 2016. The decline in net operating revenues attributable to a 
decrease in patient days was offset in part by an increase in our net revenue per patient day. Our net revenue per patient day 
increased 2.5% to $1,704 for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $1,663 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The 
increase in net revenue per patient day was principally due to higher-acuity patient populations in our critical illness recovery 
hospitals, which was caused by the changes in operations we made in response to Medicare patient criteria regulations. 

Rehabilitation  Hospital  Segment.    Net  operating  revenues  increased  25.0%  to  $622.5  million  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2017, compared to $498.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase in net operating revenues 
is principally due to several new rehabilitation hospitals which commenced operations during 2016 and 2017.  Our patient days 
increased 24.4% to 269,905 days for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 216,994 days for the year ended December 31, 
2016. Our net revenue per patient day increased 9.4% to $1,577 for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $1,441 for 
the year ended December 31, 2016.

Outpatient  Rehabilitation  Segment.    Net  operating  revenues  increased  2.5%  to  $1,003.8  million  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2017, compared to $979.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase in net operating revenues 
was principally due to the acquisition of Physiotherapy on March 4, 2016, offset in part by the sale of our contract therapy businesses 
on March 31, 2016. Visits increased 5.6% to 8,232,536 for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 7,799,208 visits for 
the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase in visits was principally due to Physiotherapy. Net revenue per visit increased 
1.0% to $101 for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $100 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Concentra Segment.    Net operating revenues increased 3.1% to $1,013.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, 
compared to $982.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The increase in net operating revenues was principally due 
to newly acquired and developed centers. Visits in our centers increased 4.6% to 7,709,508 for the year ended December 31, 2017, 
compared to 7,373,751 visits for the year ended December 31, 2016. The growth in visits principally related to an increase in 
employer services visits. Net revenue per visit was $115 for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $116 for the year 
ended December 31, 2016. The decrease in net revenue per visit is principally due to an increased proportion of employer service 
visits, which yield lower per visit rates.

Operating Expenses

Our  operating  expenses  consist  principally  of  cost  of  services  and  general  and  administrative  expenses.  Our  operating 
expenses were $3,849.4 million, or 88.2% of net operating revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $3,772.3 
million, or 89.4% of net operating revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2016. Our cost of services, a major component of 
which is labor expense, was $3,735.3 million, or 85.6% of net operating revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared 
to $3,665.4 million, or 86.9% of net operating revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2016. The decrease in our operating 
expenses relative to our net operating revenues is principally due to the improved operating performance of our start-up rehabilitation 
hospitals and cost reductions achieved within our critical illness recovery hospital and Concentra segments. Facility rent expense 
was $230.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $225.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. 
General and administrative expenses were $114.0 million, or 2.6% of net operating revenues, for the year ended December 31, 
2017,  compared  to  $106.9  million,  or  2.5%  of  net  operating  revenues,  for  the  year  ended  December 31,  2016.  General  and 
administrative expenses included $2.8 million of U.S. HealthWorks acquisition costs and $3.2 million of Physiotherapy acquisition 
costs for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

68

Adjusted EBITDA

Critical Illness Recovery Hospital Segment.    Adjusted EBITDA increased 12.5% to $252.7 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2017, compared to $224.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the 
critical illness recovery hospital segment was 14.6% for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 12.8% for the year ended 
December 31, 2016. The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are principally due to an increase in our 
net revenue per patient day, as described above under “Net Operating Revenues,” while maintaining a consistent cost structure.

Rehabilitation Hospital Segment.    Adjusted EBITDA increased 58.2% to $90.0 million for the year ended December 31, 
2017, compared to $56.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the rehabilitation 
hospital segment was 14.5% for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 11.4% for the year ended December 31, 2016. 
The increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for our rehabilitation hospital segment were primarily driven 
by increased patient volumes at our start-up rehabilitation hospitals, as discussed above under “Net Operating Revenues.” Adjusted 
EBITDA losses in our start-up hospitals were $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $21.8 million for 
the year ended December 31, 2016. 

Outpatient Rehabilitation Segment.    Adjusted EBITDA increased 2.1% to $132.5 million for the year ended December 31, 
2017, compared to $129.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was principally due 
to growth in visits and an increase in net revenue per visit, as discussed above under “Net Operating Revenues.” Our Adjusted 
EBITDA margin for the outpatient rehabilitation segment was 13.2% for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 13.3%
for the year ended December 31, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2017, our Adjusted EBITDA margin for our outpatient 
rehabilitation segment was impacted by higher relative labor expenses within markets which have experienced a decline in patient 
volumes. We also experienced higher relative operating costs in some of our start-up and recently acquired outpatient rehabilitation 
clinics. 

Concentra  Segment.    Adjusted  EBITDA  increased  10.2%  to  $157.6  million  for  the  year  ended  December 31,  2017, 
compared to $143.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin for the Concentra segment 
was 15.6% for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 14.6% for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increases in 
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for our Concentra segment are principally due to an increase in net operating 
revenues from newly acquired and developed centers, as described above under “Net Operating Revenues,” while leveraging our 
existing cost structure.

Other.    The Adjusted EBITDA loss was $94.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to an Adjusted 
EBITDA loss of $88.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase in our Adjusted EBITDA loss was due to an 
increase in general and administrative costs, which resulted from the expansion of our corporate shared services activities. 

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense was $160.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $145.3 
million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase principally occurred in our rehabilitation hospital segment due to 
new hospitals operating within the segment. 

Income from Operations

For the year ended December 31, 2017, we had income from operations of $355.9 million, compared to $299.8 million for 
the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase in income from operations resulted principally from the increases in Adjusted 
EBITDA, as described above. 

Loss on Early Retirement of Debt

On March 6, 2017, we refinanced Select’s 2011 senior secured credit facility which resulted in losses on early retirement of 

debt of $19.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2017. 

On March 4, 2016, we refinanced a portion of our term loans under Select’s 2011 senior secured credit facility which resulted 
in a loss on early retirement of debt of $0.8 million. On September 26, 2016, Concentra prepaid the second lien term loan under 
the Concentra credit facilities, resulting in a loss on early retirement of debt of approximately $10.9 million.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

For the year ended December 31, 2017, we had equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries of $21.1 million, compared 
to $19.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase in our equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries 
resulted principally from the improved performance of rehabilitation businesses in which we own a minority interest.

69

Non-Operating Gain

We recognized a non-operating gain of $42.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The non-operating gain was 
principally  due  to  the  sale  of  our  contract  therapy  businesses  for  $65.0 million,  which  resulted  in  a  non-operating  gain  of 
$33.9 million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $154.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $170.1 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2016. The decrease in interest expense was principally the result of decreases in our interest rates associated with 
the refinancing of Select’s 2011 senior secured credit facility during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, and the Concentra credit 
facilities during the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax benefit of $18.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. We recorded income tax expense 
of $55.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, which represented an effective tax rate of 30.7%. For the year ended 
December 31, 2017, our income tax benefit resulted primarily from the effects of the federal tax reform legislation enacted on 
December 22, 2017. The effects of the federal tax reform legislation on our net deferred tax liability resulted in an income tax 
benefit of $71.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Additionally, we were able to realize the benefit of a prior net 
operating loss deduction of $14.1 million.

On December 22, 2017 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law, which reduced the federal statutory tax rate to 21% 
from 35%.  Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on 
deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. While the effective date of the new 
corporate tax rate was January 1, 2018, we recorded the effect on our deferred tax balances at December 31, 2017.  

Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $43.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 
$9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase is principally due to increases in net income of our joint venture 
subsidiary, Concentra, and the improved operating performance of joint venture rehabilitation hospitals.

Operating activities provided $494.2 million of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in operating 
cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018, when compared to the year ended December 31, 2017, was principally driven 
by the change in our accounts receivable. Our days sales outstanding was 51 days at December 31, 2018, compared to 58 days at 
December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2017, the higher days sales outstanding was caused by the significant underpayments we 
received through the Medicare periodic interim payment program in our critical illness recovery hospitals. Additionally, we received 
over-payments during 2016 which were repaid during the first quarter of 2017. This had the effect of increasing operating activity 
cash flows during 2016 and decreasing operating activity cash flows during 2017. 

Operating activities provided $238.1 million of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017. The decrease in operating 
cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017, when compared to the year ended December 31, 2016, was principally driven 
by an increase in our accounts receivable during the year ended December 31, 2017, as described above. Our days sales outstanding 
was 58 days at December 31, 2017, compared to 51 days at December 31, 2016.

Investing activities used $697.1 million, $193.0 million and $554.3 million of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 
2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the principal uses of cash were $515.6 million related 
to  the  acquisition  of  U.S.  HealthWorks  and  $167.3  million  for  purchases  of  property  and  equipment.  For  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2017, the principal uses of cash were $233.2 million for purchases of property and equipment and $27.4 million 
for the acquisition of businesses, offset in part by $80.4 million of proceeds received from the sale of assets. For the year ended 
December 31,  2016,  the  principal  uses  of  cash  were  $406.3 million  for  the  Physiotherapy  acquisition  and  $161.6  million  for 
purchases of property and equipment, offset in part by $80.5 million of proceeds received from the sale of assets and businesses.

Financing activities provided $255.6 million of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018. The principal source of 
cash was from the issuance of term loans under the Concentra credit facilities which resulted in net proceeds of $779.8 million. 
This was offset in part by $311.5 million of distributions to and purchases of non-controlling interests, of which $294.9 million 
related to the redemption and reorganization transactions executed under the Purchase Agreement in connection with the acquisition 
of U.S. HealthWorks by our Concentra segment, and $210.0 million of net repayments under the Select revolving credit facility.

Financing activities used $21.6 million of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017. The principal uses of cash were 
$23.1 million for a principal prepayment associated with the Concentra credit facilities, $8.6 million for term loan payments 
associated with the Select credit facilities, and cash used for the payment of financing costs related to the refinancing of the Select 
credit facilities, offset in part by $10.0 million of net borrowings under the Select revolving facility.

Financing activities provided $292.3 million of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2016. The principal source of 
cash was the issuance of $625.0 million series F tranche B term loans under Select’s 2011 senior secured credit facility, resulting 
in net proceeds of $600.1 million. This was offset by $215.7 million of cash used to repay the series D tranche B term loans under 
Select’s 2011 senior secured credit facility and $80.0 million of net repayments under the Select and Concentra revolving facilities.

Capital Resources

Working capital.    We had net working capital of $287.3 million at December 31, 2018, compared to net working capital 

of $315.4 million at December 31, 2017.

Select credit facilities.   On March 22, 2018, Select entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Select credit agreement dated 
March 6, 2017. Amendment No. 1 (i) decreased the applicable interest rate on the Select term loan from the Adjusted LIBO Rate 
(as defined in the Select credit agreement and subject to an Adjusted LIBO floor of 1.00%) plus 3.50% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate 
plus a percentage ranging from 2.50% to 2.75%, or from the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Select credit agreement and 
subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%) plus 2.50% to the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.50% to 
1.75%, in each case subject to a specified leverage ratio; (ii) decreased the applicable interest rate on the loans outstanding under 
the Select revolving facility from the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 3.00% to 3.25% to the Adjusted LIBO 
Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.50% to 2.75%, or from the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.00% to 
2.25% to the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.50% to 1.75%, in each case subject to a specified leverage 
ratio; (iii) extended the maturity date for the Select term loan from March 6, 2024, to March 6, 2025; and (iv) made certain other 
technical amendments to the Select credit agreement as set forth therein.

On October 26, 2018, Select entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Select credit agreement. Among other things, Amendment 
No. 2 (i) decreased the applicable interest rate on the Select term loan from the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Select credit 
agreement) plus a percentage ranging from 2.50% to 2.75% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.25% to 
2.50%, or from the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Select credit agreement) plus a percentage ranging from 1.50% to 1.75% 
to the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.25% to 1.50%, in each case subject to a specified leverage ratio (as 
defined in the Select credit agreement), and (ii) decreased the applicable interest rate on the loans outstanding under the Select 
revolving facility from the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.50% to 2.75% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 
a percentage ranging from 2.25% to 2.50%, or from the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Select credit agreement) plus a 
percentage ranging from 1.50% to 1.75% to the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.25% to 1.50%, in each case 
subject to a specified leverage ratio. As amended, the Adjusted LIBO Rate and Alternate Base Rate under the Select credit agreement 
are no longer subject to the floor.

At December 31, 2018, Select had outstanding borrowings under the Select credit facilities consisting of a $1,129.9 million
Select term loan (excluding unamortized original issue discounts and debt issuance costs of $19.0 million) and borrowings of 
$20.0 million (excluding letters of credit) under the Select revolving facility. At December 31, 2018, Select had $392.5 million of 
availability under the Select revolving facility after giving effect to $37.5 million of outstanding letters of credit.

The Select credit agreement requires Select to maintain certain leverage ratios, as defined in the Select credit agreement. 
For each of the four fiscal quarters during the year ended December 31, 2018, Select was required to maintain its leverage ratio 
at less than 6.25 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2018, Select’s leverage ratio was 4.64 to 1.00. Additionally, the Select credit agreement 
will require a prepayment of borrowings of 50% of excess cash flow, which will result in a prepayment of approximately $98.8 
million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company expects to have the borrowing capacity and intends to use borrowings 
under the Select revolving facility to make all or a portion of the required prepayment during the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Concentra credit facilities.    Select and Holdings are not parties to the Concentra credit facilities and are not obligors with 
respect to Concentra’s debt under such agreements. While this debt is non-recourse to Select, it is included in Select’s consolidated 
financial statements.

On February 1, 2018, in connection with the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks, Concentra entered into Amendment No. 3 to 
the Concentra first lien credit agreement. Among other things, Amendment No. 3 (i) provided for an additional $555.0 million in 
first lien term loans that, along with the existing first lien term loan under the Concentra first lien credit agreement, have a maturity 
date of June 1, 2022 (collectively, the “Concentra first lien term loan”) and (ii) added an additional $25.0 million of revolving 
loans, that along with the existing $50.0 million revolving loans, comprise the five-year Concentra revolving facility under the 
terms of the existing Concentra first lien credit agreement. Prior to subsequent amendments, the Concentra first lien term loan’s 
interest rate was equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) plus 2.75% (subject to 
an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.00%), or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) plus 
1.75% (subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%). All other material terms and conditions applicable to the original first 
lien term loan commitments were applicable to the additional first lien term loans created under the Concentra first lien credit 
agreement. 

72

In addition, Concentra entered into the Concentra second lien credit agreement that provided for $240.0 million in term loans 
(the “Concentra second lien term loan”) with a maturity date of June 1, 2023. Borrowings under the Concentra second lien credit 
agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Concentra second lien credit agreement) plus 
6.50% (subject to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.00%), or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Concentra second lien 
credit agreement) plus 5.50% (subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%).

In the event that, on or prior to February 1, 2019, Concentra voluntarily prepays any of the Concentra second lien term loan 
or refinances such term loans with net proceeds of other indebtedness, Concentra will pay a premium of 2.00% of the aggregate 
principal amount of the Concentra second lien term loan prepaid. If, on or prior to February 1, 2020, Concentra voluntarily prepays 
any of the Concentra second lien term loan or refinances such term loans with net proceeds of other indebtedness, Concentra will 
pay a premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Concentra second lien term loan prepaid.

On October 26, 2018, Concentra entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Concentra first lien credit agreement. Among other 
things, Amendment No. 4 (i) provides for an applicable interest rate on the Concentra first lien term loan of the Adjusted LIBO 
Rate (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) plus a percentage ranging from 2.50% to 2.75% (with 2.75% being 
the initial rate), or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) plus a percentage ranging from 
1.50% to 1.75% (with 1.75% being the initial rate), in each case subject to a specified credit rating, and (ii) decreases the applicable 
interest rate on the loans outstanding under the Concentra revolving facility from the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging 
from 2.75% to 3.00% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.25% to 2.50%, or from the Alternate Base Rate 
plus a percentage ranging from 1.75% to 2.00% to the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.25% to 1.50%, in 
each case subject to Concentra’s leverage ratio (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement). As amended, the Adjusted 
LIBO Rate and Alternate Base Rate under the Concentra first lien credit agreement are no longer subject to a floor.

Concentra will be required to prepay borrowings under the Concentra second lien term loan with (i) 100% of the net cash 
proceeds received from non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions, or as a result of a casualty or condemnation, subject 
to reinvestment provisions and other customary carveouts and the payment of certain indebtedness secured by liens, (ii) 100% of 
the net cash proceeds received from the issuance of debt obligations other than certain permitted debt obligations, and (iii) 50% 
of excess cash flow (as defined in the Concentra second lien credit agreement) if Concentra’s leverage ratio is greater than 4.25 
to 1.00 and 25% of excess cash flow if Concentra’s leverage ratio is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1.00 and greater than 3.75 to 
1.00, in each case, reduced by the aggregate amount of term loans and certain debt optionally prepaid during the applicable fiscal 
year and the aggregate amount of revolving commitments reduced permanently during the applicable fiscal year (other than in 
connection with a refinancing). Concentra will not be required to prepay borrowings with excess cash flow if Concentra’s leverage 
ratio is less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00. No mandatory prepayment is required under the Concentra second lien credit agreement 
to the extent any mandatory prepayment is applied to indebtedness secured by liens ranking prior to the Concentra second lien 
credit agreement (and to the extent such debt is revolving indebtedness, such prepayment is accompanied by a permanent reduction 
of the applicable commitments). 

The  Concentra  second  lien  credit  agreement  also  contains  a  number  of  affirmative  and  restrictive  covenants,  including 
limitations on mergers, consolidations and dissolutions; sales of assets; investments and acquisitions; indebtedness; liens; affiliate 
transactions; and dividends and restricted payments. The Concentra second lien credit agreement contains events of default for 
non-payment  of  principal  and  interest  when  due  (subject  to  a  grace  period  for  interest),  cross-default  and  cross-acceleration 
provisions, and an event of default that would be triggered by a change of control.

The borrowings under the Concentra second lien term loan are guaranteed, on a second lien basis, by Concentra Holdings, 
Inc., Concentra, and certain domestic subsidiaries of Concentra (subject, in each case, to permitted liens). These borrowings will 
also be guaranteed by certain of Concentra’s future domestic subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries and Consolidated 
Practices, each as defined in the Concentra second lien credit agreement). The borrowings under the Concentra second lien term 
loan are secured by substantially all of Concentra’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ existing and future property and assets and by 
a pledge of Concentra’s capital stock, the capital stock of certain of Concentra’s domestic subsidiaries and up to 65% of the voting 
capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock of Concentra’s foreign subsidiaries, if any.

Concentra used borrowings under the Concentra first lien credit agreement and the Concentra second lien credit agreement, 
together with cash on hand, to pay the cash purchase price for all of the issued and outstanding stock of U.S. HealthWorks to 
DHHC and to finance the redemption and reorganization transactions executed under the Purchase Agreement.

At December 31, 2018, Concentra had outstanding borrowings under the Concentra credit facilities consisting of the $1,414.2 
million Concentra term loans (excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $21.4 million). Concentra did not have 
any borrowings under the Concentra revolving facility. At December 31, 2018, Concentra had $62.3 million of availability under 
its revolving facility after giving effect to $12.7 million of outstanding letters of credit.

73

The Concentra first lien credit agreement will require a prepayment of borrowings of 50% of excess cash flow, which will 
result in a prepayment of approximately $33.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Concentra expects to use cash on 
hand to make all or a portion of the required prepayment during the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Stock Repurchase Program.    Holdings’ board of directors has authorized a common stock repurchase program to repurchase 
up to $500.0 million worth of shares of its common stock. The program has been extended until December 31, 2019, and will 
remain in effect until then, unless further extended or earlier terminated by the board of directors. Stock repurchases under this 
program may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, and at times and in such amounts as Holdings 
deems appropriate. Holdings funds this program with cash on hand and borrowings under the Select revolving facility. Holdings 
did not repurchase shares during the year ended December 31, 2018. Since the inception of the program through December 31, 
2018, Holdings has repurchased 35,924,128 shares at a cost of approximately $314.7 million, or $8.76 per share, which includes 
transaction costs.

Liquidity.    We believe our internally generated cash flows and borrowing capacity under the Select and Concentra credit 
facilities will be sufficient to finance operations over the next twelve months. We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase 
our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated 
transactions, tender offers or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, may be funded from operating cash flows or other 
sources and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. 
The amounts involved may be material. 

Use of Capital Resources.    We may from time to time pursue opportunities to develop new joint venture relationships with 
significant health systems and other healthcare providers and from time to time we may also develop new rehabilitation hospitals 
and occupational health centers. We also intend to open new outpatient rehabilitation clinics in local areas that we currently serve 
where we can benefit from existing referral relationships and brand awareness to produce incremental growth. In addition to our 
development activities, we may grow through opportunistic acquisitions.

The interest obligation for the Select credit facilities was calculated using the average interest rate of 4.9% for the Select
term loan and 5.1% for the Select revolving facility at December 31, 2018. The interest obligation for the 6.375% senior
notes was calculated using the stated interest rate and a weighted average interest rate of 4.0% was used for Select’s other
debt obligations.

The interest obligation for the Concentra credit facilities was calculated using the average interest rate of 4.8% for the
Concentra first lien term loan and 8.5% for the Concentra second lien term loan at December 31, 2018. The weighted
average interest rate for Concentra’s other debt obligations was 7.0%.

Amounts  represent  purchase  commitments  that  are  not  presented  as  construction  contract  commitments  above.  Our
purchase obligations primarily relate to software licensing and support.

the Villages, L.L.C., Promise Properties of Lee, Inc., Promise Hospital of Lee, Inc., Promise Hospital of Dade, Inc., and
Promise Properties of Dade, Inc. (“Promise Healthcare”), pursuant to which we will purchase substantially all of the
assets of certain of Promise Healthcare’s Florida hospitals. The purchase price is subject to certain adjustments.  The sale
is subject to other conditions, including approval of the Asset Purchase Agreement by the Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware.

See Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included herein.

Workers’ compensation and professional malpractice liability insurance liabilities of $112.9 million, which are included
as components of other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, have been excluded from the table
above as we cannot reasonably estimate the amounts or periods in which these liabilities will be paid.

Concentra Put Right

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Concentra Group Holdings Parent, WCAS 
and the other members of Concentra Group Holdings Parent and Dignity Health have separate put rights (each, a “Put Right”) 
with respect to their equity interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent. If a Put Right is exercised by WCAS or Dignity Health, 
Select will be obligated to purchase up to 331/3% of the equity interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent offered by WCAS, 
DHHC, or the other members, that such members owned as of February 1, 2018, at a purchase price based on a valuation of 
Concentra Group Holdings Parent performed by an investment bank to be agreed between Select and one of WCAS or Dignity 
Health, which valuation will be based on certain precedent transactions using multiples of EBITDA (as defined in the Amended 
and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Concentra Group Holdings Parent) and capped at an agreed upon multiple 
of EBITDA. Select has the right to elect to pay the purchase price in cash or in shares of Holdings’ common stock. WCAS and 
Dignity Health may first exercise their respective Put Right during a sixty-day period commencing February 1, 2020, and then 
may exercise their respective Put Right again annually during a sixty-day period in each calendar year thereafter. If WCAS exercises 
its Put Right, the other members of Concentra Group Holdings Parent, other than Dignity Health, may elect to sell to Select, on 
the same terms as WCAS, a percentage of their equity interests of Concentra Group Holdings Parent that such member owned as 
of the date of the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement, up to but not exceeding the percentage of equity interests owned by 
WCAS as of February 1, 2018 that WCAS has determined to sell to Select in the exercise of its Put Right.

Furthermore, WCAS, Dignity Health, and the other members of Concentra Group Holdings Parent have a put right with 
respect to their equity interest in Concentra Group Holdings Parent that may only be exercised in the event Holdings or Select 
experiences a change of control that has not been previously approved by WCAS and Dignity Health, and which results in change 
in the senior management of Select (an “SEM COC Put Right”). If an SEM COC Put Right is exercised by WCAS, Select will be 
obligated to purchase all (but not less than all) of the equity interests of WCAS and the other members of Concentra Group Holdings 
Parent (other than Dignity Health) offered by such members at a purchase price based on a valuation of Concentra Group Holdings 
Parent performed by an investment bank to be agreed between Select and one of WCAS or Dignity Health, which valuation will 
be based on certain precedent transactions using multiples of EBITDA and capped at an agreed upon multiple of EBITDA. Similarly, 
if an SEM COC Put Right is exercised by Dignity Health, Select will be obligated to purchase all (but not less than all) of the 
equity interests of Dignity Health at a purchase price based on a valuation of Concentra Group Holdings Parent performed by an 
investment bank to be agreed between Select and one of WCAS or Dignity Health, which valuation will be based on certain 
precedent transactions using multiples of EBITDA and capped at an agreed upon multiple of EBITDA.

Furthermore, Select has a call right (the “Call Right”), whereby each other member of Concentra Group Holdings Parent 
will be obligated to sell all or a portion of their equity interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent to Select at a purchase price 
based on a valuation of Concentra Group Holdings performed by an investment bank to be mutually agreed upon by Select and 
either WCAS or Dignity Health. The valuation will be based on certain precedent transactions using multiples of EBITDA and 
capped at an agreed upon multiple of EBITDA. Select may first exercise the Call Right after February 1, 2022.

We exclude the approximate amount that we may be required to pay to purchase these equity interests in Concentra Group 
Holdings Parent from the contractual obligations table above because of the uncertainty as to: (i) whether or not the Put Right, if 
exercisable, or the Call Right will actually be exercised; (ii) the dollar amounts that would be paid if the Put Right or Call Right 
is exercised; and (iii) the timing and form of consideration of any such payments.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from the Medicare program. We have been, and could be in the future, 
affected by the continuing efforts of governmental and private third-party payors to contain healthcare costs by limiting or reducing 
reimbursement payments.

Additionally, reimbursement payments under governmental and private third-party payor programs may not increase to 
sufficiently cover increasing costs. Medicare reimbursement in our critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals 
is subject to fixed payments under the Medicare prospective payment systems. In accordance with Medicare laws, CMS makes 
annual adjustments to Medicare payments under what is commonly known as a “market basket update.” Generally, these rates are 
adjusted for inflation. However, these adjustments may not reflect the actual increase in the costs of providing healthcare services 
and may be reduced by CMS for other adjustments.

The  healthcare  industry  is  labor  intensive  and  the  Company’s  largest  expenses  are  labor  related  costs. Wage  and  other 
expenses increase during periods of inflation and when labor shortages occur in the marketplace. There can be no guarantee we 
will not experience increases in the cost of labor, as the need for clinical healthcare professionals is expected to grow. In addition, 
suppliers pass along rising costs to us in the form of higher prices. We have little or no ability to pass on these increased costs 
associated with providing services due to federal laws that establish fixed reimbursement rates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to our consolidated financial statements 

included herein for information regarding recent accounting pronouncements.

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our variable rate long-term indebtedness. Our principal interest rate 

exposure relates to the loans outstanding under the Select credit facilities and Concentra credit facilities.

As of December 31, 2018, Select had outstanding borrowings under the Select credit facilities consisting of a $1,129.9 
million Select term loan (excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $19.0 million) and borrowings of $20.0 
million (excluding letters of credit) under the Select revolving facility, which bear interest at variable rates.

As of December 31, 2018, Concentra had outstanding borrowings under the Concentra credit facilities consisting of the 
$1,414.2 million Concentra term loans (excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $21.4 million), which bear 
interest at variable rates. Concentra did not have any borrowings under the Concentra revolving facility.

As of December 31, 2018, each 0.25% increase in market interest rates will impact the interest expense on Select’s and 

Concentra’s variable rate debt by $6.4 million per annum.

Item 9A.    Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal 
financial  officer,  of  the  effectiveness  of  the  design  and  operation  of  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  (as  defined  in 
Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered in this report. Based on this evaluation, 
our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, including the 
accumulation and communication of disclosure to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate to 
allow timely decisions regarding disclosure, are effective as of December 31, 2018 to provide reasonable assurance that material 
information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time 
periods specified in the relevant SEC rules and forms.

U.S. HealthWorks Acquisition

On February 1, 2018, Concentra consummated the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks. SEC guidance permits management to 
omit an assessment of an acquired business’ internal control over financial reporting from management’s assessment of internal 
control over financial reporting for a period not to exceed one year from the date of the acquisition.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that 
occurred during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to 
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On February 1, 2018, Concentra consummated the acquisition of U.S. HealthWorks. Effective from that date, we began 
integrating U.S. HealthWorks into our existing control procedures. The U.S. HealthWorks integration may lead us to modify certain 
controls in future periods, but we do not expect changes to significantly affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not 
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part 
upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, 
there is only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  an  adequate  system  of  internal  control  over  our  financial 
reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the 
Sarbanes-Oxley Act,  management  has  conducted  an  assessment,  including  testing,  using  the  criteria  of  “Internal  Control—
Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or “COSO,” 
as of December 31, 2018. Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance 
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes 
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As of December 31, 2018, the operations and related assets of U.S. HealthWorks are excluded from management’s assessment 
of internal control over financial reporting because it was acquired by Concentra during 2018. U.S. HealthWorks’ acquired assets 
(excluding  its  goodwill  and  intangible  assets)  represented  less  than  3%  of  our  total  assets  as  of  December  31,  2018.  U.S. 
HealthWorks’ net operating revenues represented less than 10% of our consolidated net operating revenues for the year ended 
December 31, 2018.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk 
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or 
procedures may deteriorate.

77

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018. 
This  assessment  was  based  on  criteria for  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  described  in  “Internal  Control—
Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by COSO. Based on this assessment, management concludes that, as of December 31, 2018, 
internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting 
and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The effectiveness 
of 
internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December 31,  2018  has  been  audited  by 
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm as stated in their report which appears herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Select Medical Holdings Corporation

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Select  Medical  Holdings  Corporation  and  its  subsidiaries  (the 
“Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, of 
changes in equity and income, and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, including the 
related notes and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018 
appearing under Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's 
internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2018,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control  -  Integrated 
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 
the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the 
period ended December 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also 
in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 
2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for revenue 
from contracts with customers as of January 1, 2018.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over 
financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions 
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. 
We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are 
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules 
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to 
error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 
consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures 
included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits 
also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
presentation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  Our  audit  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  included  obtaining  an 
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating 
the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other 
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded U.S. HealthWorks 
from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 because it was acquired by the Company in 
a purchase business combination during 2018. We have also excluded U.S. HealthWorks from our audit of internal control over financial 
reporting. U.S. HealthWorks is a joint-venture subsidiary whose total assets and total revenues excluded from management’s assessment 
and our audit of internal control over financial reporting represent approximately 3% and 10%, respectively, of the related consolidated 
financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

F-2

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability 
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance 
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide 
reasonable  assurance  that  transactions  are  recorded  as  necessary  to  permit  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with 
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with 
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely 
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial 
statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections 
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in 
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

SELECT MEDICAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SELECT MEDICAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Business Description

Select Medical Corporation (“Select”) was formed in December 1996 and commenced operations during February 1997. 
Select Medical Holdings Corporation (“Holdings”) was formed in October 2004 and on February 24, 2005, Select merged with a 
subsidiary  of  Holdings,  which  resulted  in  Select  becoming  a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  Holdings.  On  September 30,  2009, 
Holdings completed its initial public offering of common stock. Holdings and Select and their subsidiaries are collectively referred 
to as the “Company.” The consolidated financial statements of Holdings include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary Select. 
Holdings conducts its business through Select and its subsidiaries.

The Company is, based on number of facilities, one of the largest operators of critical illness recovery hospitals (previously 
referred to as long term acute care hospitals), rehabilitation hospitals (previously referred to as inpatient rehabilitation facilities), 
outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and occupational health centers in the United States. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had 
operations in 47 states and the District of Columbia. As of December 31, 2018, the Company operated 96 critical illness recovery 
hospitals, 26 rehabilitation hospitals, and 1,662 outpatient rehabilitation clinics. As of December 31, 2018, Concentra, a joint 
venture subsidiary, operated 524 occupational health centers. Concentra also operated 124 onsite clinics at employer worksites 
and 31 Department of Veterans Affairs CBOCs. 

The Company is managed through four business segments: the critical illness recovery hospital segment (previously referred 
to as the long term acute care segment), the rehabilitation hospital segment (previously referred to as the inpatient rehabilitation 
segment), the outpatient rehabilitation segment, and the Concentra segment. The Company’s critical illness recovery hospital 
segment consists of hospitals designed to serve the needs of patients recovering from critical illnesses, often with complex medical 
needs,  and  the  rehabilitation  hospital  segment  consists  of  hospitals  designed  to  serve  patients  that  require  intensive  physical 
rehabilitation care. Patients are typically admitted to the Company’s critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals 
from  general  acute  care  hospitals. The  Company’s  outpatient  rehabilitation  segment  consists  of  clinics  that  provide  physical, 
occupational, and speech rehabilitation services. The Company’s Concentra segment consists of occupational health centers and 
contract  services  provided  at  employer  worksites  and  Department  of  Veterans  Affairs  community-based  outpatient  clinics 
(“CBOCs”) that deliver occupational medicine, physical therapy, veteran’s healthcare, and consumer health services. 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of 
America  (“GAAP”)  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and 
liabilities, including disclosure of contingencies, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and 
expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: amounts realizable 
for services performed, estimated useful lives of assets, the valuation of intangible assets, amounts payable for self-insured losses, 
and the computation of income taxes. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; accordingly, the Company’s 
accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements 
will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained, and as the Company’s 
operating environment changes. The Company’s management evaluates and updates assumptions and estimates on an ongoing 
basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the subsidiaries, limited liability companies, 
and limited partnerships in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions 
are eliminated in consolidation.

SELECT MEDICAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION 
AND SELECT MEDICAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Non-Controlling Interests

The ownership interests held by outside parties in subsidiaries, limited liability companies and limited partnerships controlled 
by the Company are classified as non-controlling interests.  Net income or loss is attributed to the Company’s non-controlling 
interests in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation. Some of the Company’s non-
controlling ownership interests consist of outside parties that have certain redemption rights that, if exercised, require the Company 
to purchase the parties’ ownership interests. These interests are classified and reported as redeemable non-controlling interests and 
have been adjusted to their approximate redemption values, after the attribution of net income or loss, in accordance with ASC 
Topic 480, Distinguishing liabilities from equity. 

The Company’s redeemable non-controlling interest is comprised primarily of the Class A interests owned by outside members 
of Concentra Group Holdings Parent, LLC (“Concentra Group Holdings Parent”), each which have put rights with respect to their 
interests in Concentra Group Holdings Parent. The redemption value of these interests is approximately $613.3 million and $750.6 
million as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. 

Earnings per Share

The Company’s capital structure includes common stock and unvested restricted stock awards. To compute earnings per 
share (“EPS”), the Company applies the two-class method because the Company’s unvested restricted stock awards are participating 
securities which are entitled to participate equally with the Company’s common stock in undistributed earnings. Application of 
the Company’s two-class method is as follows:

(i) Net income attributable to the Company is reduced by the amount of dividends declared and the contractual amount of

dividends in the current period for each class of stock, if any.

(ii) The remaining undistributed net income of the Company is then equally allocated to its common stock and unvested
restricted stock awards, as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. The total net income allocated to each
security is determined by adding both distributed and undistributed net income for the period.

(i)

The net income allocated to each security is then divided by the weighted average number of outstanding shares for the
period to which the earnings are allocated to determine the EPS for each security considered in the two-class method.

Segment Reporting

The Company identifies its operating segments according to how the chief operating decision maker evaluates financial 
performance  and  allocates  resources.  Prior  to  2017,  the  Company’s  reportable  segments  were  specialty  hospitals,  outpatient 
rehabilitation, and Concentra. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company changed its internal segment reporting 
structure to reflect how the Company now manages its business operations, reviews operating performance, and allocates resources. 
The Company’s reportable segments include the critical illness recovery hospital segment, the rehabilitation hospital segment, the 
outpatient rehabilitation segment, and the Concentra segment. Prior year results presented herein conform to the current reportable 
segment structure. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash 

equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates fair value.

Accounts Receivable

Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable are related to providing healthcare services to patients whose costs 
are primarily paid by federal and state governmental authorities, managed care health plans, commercial insurance companies, 
and  workers’  compensation  and  employer  programs.  The  Company  reports  accounts  receivable  at  an  amount  equal  to  the 
consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for providing healthcare services to its patients, which is estimated 
using contractual provisions associated with specific payors, historical reimbursement rates, and an analysis of past experience to 
estimate  potential  adjustments.  The  Company  writes-off  amounts  that  have  been  deemed  to  be  uncollectible  because  of 
circumstances that affect the ability of payors to make payments as they occur.

Credit Risk and Payor Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash balances 
and trade receivables. The Company’s excess cash is held with large financial institutions. The Company grants unsecured credit 
to its patients, most of whom reside in the service area of the Company’s facilities and are insured under third-party payor agreements. 
The Company’s general policy is to verify insurance coverage prior to the date of admission for patients admitted to the Company’s 
critical illness recovery hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals. Within the Company’s outpatient rehabilitation clinics, the Company 
verifies insurance coverage prior to the patient’s visit.  Within the Company’s Concentra centers, the Company verifies insurance 
coverage or receives authorization from the patient’s employer prior to the patient’s visit. 

Because  of  the  geographic  diversity  of  the  Company’s  facilities  and  non-governmental  third-party  payors,  Medicare 
represents the Company’s only significant concentration of credit risk. Approximately 27% and 16% of the Company’s accounts 
receivable are from Medicare at December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. The Company’s primary collection risks relate to non-
governmental payors and deductibles, co-payments, and amounts owed by the patient. Deductibles, co-payments, and self-insured 
amounts owed by the patient are an immaterial portion of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. Approximately 0.3% of the 
Company’s  accounts  receivable  were  from  deductibles,  co-payments,  and  self-insured  amounts  owed  by  patients  at  both 
December 31, 2017 and 2018. 

A  significant  portion  of  the  Company’s  net  operating  revenues  are  generated  directly  from  the  Medicare  program.  Net 
operating revenues generated directly from the Medicare program represented approximately 30%, 30%, and 27% of the Company’s 
total net operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017, and 2018, respectively. As a provider of services under 
the Medicare program, the Company is subject to extensive regulations. The inability of any of the Company’s critical illness 
recovery hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, or outpatient rehabilitation clinics to comply with Medicare regulations can result in 
significant changes in the net operating revenues generated from the Medicare program.

Financial Instruments

The  Company’s  financial  instruments  include  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  accounts  receivable,  accounts  payable,  and 
indebtedness. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value 
because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.  The principal outstanding, carrying values, and fair values of the Company’s 
indebtedness are presented in Note 9.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs of property and equipment 
are expensed as incurred. Improvements that increase the estimated useful life of an asset are capitalized. Direct internal and 
external costs of developing software for internal use, including programming and enhancements, are capitalized and depreciated 
over the estimated useful lives once the software is placed in service. Capitalized software costs are included within furniture and 
equipment. Software training costs, maintenance, and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed 
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the term of the lease, as appropriate. The general 
range of useful lives is as follows:

Land improvements

Leasehold improvements

Buildings

Building improvements

Furniture and equipment

2 – 25 years
1 – 15 years
40 years
5 – 30 years
1 – 20 years

The Company reviews the realizability of long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances occur which indicate recorded 
costs may not be recoverable. If it is determined that a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable, an impairment charge is 
recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group over its fair value.

Intangible Assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived identifiable intangible assets

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are recognized primarily as the result of business combinations.  Goodwill 
is assigned to reporting units based upon the specific nature of the business acquired. When a business combination contains 
business components related to more than one reporting unit, goodwill is assigned to each reporting unit based upon an allocation 
determined by the relative fair values of the business acquired. When we dispose of a business, goodwill is allocated to the gain 
or loss on disposition using the relative fair value methodology.

Goodwill  and  other  indefinite-lived  intangible  assets  are  not  amortized,  but  instead  are  subject  to  periodic  impairment 
evaluations. Impairment tests are required to be conducted at least annually or when events or conditions occur that might suggest 
a possible impairment. These events or conditions include, but are not limited to: a significant adverse change in the business 
environment, regulatory environment, or legal factors; a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of 
such losses or a projection of continuing losses; or a sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. The occurrence 
of one of these events or conditions could significantly impact an impairment assessment, necessitating an impairment charge. 

The Company may first assess qualitatively if it can conclude whether goodwill is more likely than not impaired. If goodwill 
is more likely than not impaired, the Company is then required to complete a quantitative analysis of whether a reporting unit’s 
fair value is less than its carrying amount. In evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is 
less than its carrying amount, the Company considers relevant events or circumstances that affect the fair value or carrying amount 
of a reporting unit. The Company considers both the income and market approach in determining the fair value of its reporting 
units when performing a quantitative analysis. 

At December 31, 2018, the Company’s other indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of certain trademarks, certificates of 
need, and accreditations. To determine the fair value of the trademark, the Company uses a relief from royalty income approach. 
For  the  Company’s  certificates  of  need  and  accreditations,  the  Company  performs  qualitative  assessments. As  part  of  these 
assessments, the Company evaluates the current business environment, regulatory environment, legal and other company-specific 
factors. If it is more likely than not that the fair values are less than the carrying values, the Company performs a quantitative 
impairment test.

The Company’s most recent impairment assessments were completed during the fourth quarter of 2018 utilizing information
as of October 1, 2018. The Company did not identify any instances of impairment with respect to goodwill or other indefinite-
lived intangible assets as of October 1, 2018.

Finite-lived identifiable intangible assets

At December 31, 2018, the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consist of certain trademarks, customer relationships, 
non-compete agreements, and leasehold interests. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized based on the pattern in which the 
economic benefits are consumed or otherwise depleted. If such a pattern cannot be reliably determined, finite-lived intangible 
assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives. Management believes that the below estimated useful lives 
are reasonable based on the economic factors applicable to each class of finite-lived intangible asset. 

Customer relationships

Non-compete agreements

Leasehold interests

Trademarks

5 – 17 years
1 – 15 years
1 – 15 years
1 year

The Company reviews the realizability of finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or circumstances occur which indicate 
recorded amounts may not be recoverable. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of 
such assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their estimated 
fair value.

Equity Method Investments

The Company applies the equity method of accounting for investments in which the Company has the ability to exercise 
significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, but does not possess a controlling financial interest 
in the investee. Investments of this nature are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the Company’s 
proportionate share of the investees’ net income or losses after the date of investment. When net losses from an investment accounted 
for  under  the  equity  method  exceed  the  carrying  amount,  the  investment  balance  is  reduced  to  zero. The  Company  resumes 
accounting for the investment under the equity method if the investee subsequently reports net income and the Company’s share 
of that net income exceeds the share of the net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. Investments 
are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred. The Company 
evaluates its equity method investments for impairment when there is evidence or indicators that a loss in value may be other than 
temporary.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been 
recognized in the Company's financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences 
between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences 
are expected to reverse. The Company also recognizes the future tax benefits from net operating loss carryforwards as deferred 
tax assets. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes 
the enactment date.

The Company evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets and reduces those assets using a valuation allowance if it is 
more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Among the factors used to assess the 
likelihood of realization are projections of future taxable income streams, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary 
differences, and the impact of tax planning strategies that could be implemented to avoid the potential loss of future tax benefits.

Reserves for uncertain tax positions are established for exposure items related to various federal and state tax matters. Income 
tax reserves are recorded when an exposure is identified and when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that 
a tax position will not be sustained and the amount of the liability can be estimated.

Insurance Risk Programs

Under a number of the Company’s insurance programs, which include the Company’s employee health insurance, workers’ 
compensation, and professional malpractice liability insurance programs, the Company is liable for a portion of its losses before 
it can attempt to recover from the applicable insurance carrier. The Company accrues for losses under an occurrence-based approach 
whereby the Company estimates the losses that will be incurred in a respective accounting period and accrues that estimated 
liability using actuarial methods. These programs are monitored quarterly and estimates are revised as necessary to take into 
account  additional  information.  The  Company  also  records  insurance  proceeds  receivable  for  liabilities  which  exceed  the 
Company’s deductibles and self-insured retention limits and are recoverable through insurance policies. 

Revenue Recognition

Patient Services Revenue

Patient services revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied; generally, this occurs 
as the Company provides healthcare services, as each service provided is distinct and future services rendered are not dependent 
on previously rendered services. Patient service revenues are recognized at an amount equal to the consideration the Company 
expects to receive in exchange for providing healthcare services to its patients.  These amounts are due from patients; third-party 
payors, including health insurers and government programs; and other payors.

Medicare: Medicare is a federal program that provides medical insurance benefits to persons age 65 and over, some disabled 
persons, and persons with end stage renal disease. Amounts we receive for treatment of patients covered by the Medicare program 
are  generally less  than  the standard  billing rates;  accordingly,  the  Company recognizes  revenue  based  on  amounts  which are 
reimbursable by Medicare under prospective payment systems and provisions of cost-reimbursement and other payment methods. 
The amount reimbursed is derived based on the type of services provided.  

Non-Medicare: The Company is reimbursed for healthcare services provided from various other payor sources which include 
insurance companies, state Medicaid programs, workers’ compensation programs, health maintenance organizations, preferred 
provider organizations, other managed care companies and employers, as well as patients. The Company is reimbursed by these 
payors using a variety of payment methodologies and the amounts the Company receives are generally less than the standard 
billing rates. 

 In the critical illness recovery hospital and rehabilitation hospital segments, the Company recognizes revenue based on 
known contractual provisions associated with the specific payor or, where the Company has a relatively homogeneous patient 
population, the Company will monitor individual payors’ historical reimbursement rates to derive a per diem rate which is used 
to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized for services rendered. In the outpatient rehabilitation and Concentra segments, 
the Company recognizes revenue from payors based on known contractual provisions, negotiated amounts, or usual and customary 
amounts associated with the specific payor or based on the service provided. The Company performs provision testing, using 
internally developed systems,  whereby the Company monitors historical reimbursement rates and compares them against the 
associated gross charges for the service provided. The percentage of historical reimbursed claims to gross charges is utilized to 
determine the amount of revenue to be recognized for services rendered. 

The Company is subject to potential retrospective adjustments to net operating revenues in future periods for administrative 
matters and other price concessions. These adjustments, which are estimated based on an analysis of historical experience by payor 
source, are accounted for as a constraint to the amount of revenue recognized by the Company in the period services are rendered. 

Other Revenues

The Company recognizes revenue for services provided to healthcare institutions, principally for providing management and 
employee leasing services, under contractual arrangements with related parties affiliated with the Company and with other non-
affiliated healthcare institutions. Revenue is recognized when the obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied.   Revenues 
from these services are measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive for those services.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Lease Accounting

Beginning in February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued several Accounting Standards 
Updates (“ASU”) which established Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”). Topic 842 includes a lessee accounting model that recognizes 
two types of leases: finance and operating. This standard requires that a lessee recognize on the balance sheet right-of-use assets 
and lease liabilities for all leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained 
the dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of 
expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. 

The standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company will elect the package of practical 
expedients, which permits the Company not to reassess under Topic 842 the Company’s prior conclusions about lease identification, 
lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Company will not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining 
to  land  easements;  the  latter  not  being  applicable  to  the  Company. The  Company  will  elect  the  short-term  lease  recognition 
exemption for its equipment leases. Consequently, the Company will not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for these 
leases which have terms of less than twelve months. The Company will also elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and 
non-lease components for all of its leases.

The Company will implement the standard using a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment as 
of January 1, 2019.  Prior comparative periods will not be adjusted under this approach. The adoption of the standard will have a 
material  impact  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  balance  sheets,  as  the  Company  will  recognize  right-of-use  assets  and  lease 
liabilities for its operating leases. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated 
statements of operations and comprehensive income.  The Company will not recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained 
earnings  upon  adoption. The  Company’s  accounting  for  its  finance  leases,  formerly  referred  to  as  capital  leases,  will  remain 
substantially unchanged.

The Company has validated the accuracy and completeness of its lease data and has implemented a new technology platform 
to account for leases under Topic 842. The Company’s remaining implementation efforts are focused on testing the technology 
platform and designing disclosure processes and related controls. 

Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on 
Financial Instruments. The current standard delays the recognition of a credit loss on a financial asset until the loss is probable of 
occurring. The new standard removes the requirement that a credit loss be probable of occurring for it to be recognized and requires 
entities to use historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts to estimate their future expected 
credit losses. The Company’s accounts receivable derived from contracts with customers will be subject to ASU 2016-13.

The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those 
fiscal years. The guidance must be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to 
retained earnings as of the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. Given the very high rate of 
collectability of the Company’s accounts receivable derived from contracts with customers, the impact of ASU 2016-13 is unlikely 
to be material.

Acquisitions

U.S. HealthWorks Acquisition

On February 1, 2018, Concentra acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of U.S. HealthWorks, Inc. (“U.S. 
HealthWorks”), an occupational medicine and urgent care provider, pursuant to the terms of an Equity Purchase and Contribution 
Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of October 22, 2017, by and among Concentra, U.S. HealthWorks, Concentra 
Group Holdings, LLC (“Concentra Group Holdings”), Concentra Group Holdings Parent, and Dignity Health Holding Corporation 
(“DHHC”). For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, the Company recognized $2.8 million and $2.9 million of U.S. 
HealthWorks acquisition costs, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expense.

In connection with the closing of the transaction, Concentra Group Holdings made distributions to its equity holders and 
redeemed certain of its outstanding equity interests from existing minority equity holders. Subsequently, Concentra Group Holdings 
and a wholly owned subsidiary of Concentra Group Holdings Parent merged, with Concentra Group Holdings surviving the merger 
and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Concentra Group Holdings Parent. As a result of the merger, the equity interests of 
Concentra Group Holdings outstanding after the redemption described above were exchanged for membership interests in Concentra 
Group Holdings Parent.

Concentra acquired U.S. HealthWorks for $753.6 million. DHHC, a subsidiary of Dignity Health, was issued a 20.0% equity 
interest in Concentra Group Holdings Parent, which was valued at $238.0 million. The remainder of the purchase price was paid 
in cash. Select retained a majority voting interest in Concentra Group Holdings Parent following the closing of the transaction.

For the U.S. HealthWorks acquisition, the Company allocated the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets 
acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 805, Business 
Combinations. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company finalized the purchase accounting related to this acquisition. 

The following table reconciles the fair values of identifiable net assets and goodwill to the consideration given for the acquired

The fair values assigned to tangible assets were derived using a combination of the market and cost approaches. Significant 
judgments used in valuing tangible assets include estimated reproduction or replacement cost, useful lives of assets, and estimated 
selling prices. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets were determined through the use of the income and cost 
approaches. Both valuation methods rely on management judgment including expected future cash flows, customer attrition rates, 
contributory effects of other assets utilized in the business, peer group cost of capital and royalty rates, and other factors. Useful 
lives for identifiable intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the identifiable intangible 
assets that are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows.

Goodwill of $540.1 million was recognized for the business combination, representing the excess of the consideration given 
over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. The value of goodwill was derived from U.S. HealthWorks’ future earnings 
potential and its assembled workforce. Goodwill was assigned to the Concentra reporting unit and is not deductible for tax purposes. 
However, prior to its acquisition by the Company, U.S. HealthWorks completed certain acquisitions that resulted in tax deductible 
goodwill with an estimated value of $83.1 million, which the Company will deduct through 2032.

U.S. HealthWorks contributed net operating revenues of $488.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, which is 
reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Due to the integrated nature of the 
Company’s operations, it is not practicable to separately identify earnings of U.S. HealthWorks on a stand-alone basis.

Physiotherapy Acquisition

On  March 4,  2016,  Select  acquired  all  of  the  issued  and  outstanding  equity  securities  of  Physiotherapy  Associates 
Holdings, Inc. (“Physiotherapy”) for  $406.3 million, net of $12.3 million of cash acquired. Physiotherapy is a national provider 
of  outpatient  physical  rehabilitation  care  offering  a  wide  range  of  services,  including  general  orthopedics,  spinal  care,  and 
neurological rehabilitation, as well as orthotics and prosthetics services. For the year ended December 31, 2016, $3.2 million of 
Physiotherapy acquisition costs were recognized in general and administrative expense. 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company finalized the accounting for identifiable intangible assets, fixed 
assets, non-controlling interests, and certain pre-acquisition contingencies. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company 
completed the accounting for certain deferred tax matters.

exclude $3.2 million of Physiotherapy acquisition costs. For the year ended December 31, 2017, pro forma results were adjusted 
to include approximately $2.9 million of U.S. HealthWorks acquisition costs. These acquisition costs were excluded from the pro 
forma results for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Variable Interest Entities

Concentra does not own many of its medical practices, as certain states prohibit the “corporate practice of medicine,” which
restricts business corporations from practicing medicine through the direct employment of physicians or from exercising control 
over medical decisions by physicians. In states which prohibit the corporate practice of medicine, Concentra typically enters into 
long-term management agreements with professional corporations or associations that are owned by licensed physicians, which, 
in turn, employ or contract with physicians who provide professional medical services in its occupational health centers. 

The management agreements have terms that provide for Concentra to conduct, supervise, and manage the day-to-day non-
medical operations of the occupational health centers and provide all management and administrative services. Concentra receives 
a management fee for these services, which is based, in part, on the performance of the professional corporation or association. 
Additionally, the outstanding voting equity interests of the professional corporations or associations are typically owned by licensed 
physicians appointed at Concentra’s discretion. Concentra has the ability to direct the transfer of ownership of the professional 
corporation or association to a new licensed physician at any time.

Based on the provisions of these agreements, the Company has determined that it has the ability to direct the activities which 
most significantly impact the performance of these professional corporations and associations and have an obligation to absorb 
losses or receive benefits which could potentially be significant to the professional corporations and associations. Accordingly, 
the professional corporations and associations are variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. 

As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the total assets of the Company's variable interest entities were $108.2 million and 
$166.2 million, respectively, which is comprised principally of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the total 
liabilities of the Company's variable interest entities were $105.7 million and $164.4 million, respectively, which is comprised 
principally  of  accounts  payable,  accrued  expenses,  and  obligations  payable  for  services  received  under  the  aforementioned 
management agreements.

The Company provides contracted services, principally employee leasing services, and charges management fees to related
parties affiliated through its equity investments. Net operating revenues generated from contracted services and management fees 
charged to related parties affiliated through the Company’s equity investments were $164.2 million, $178.1 million, and $216.9 
million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017, and 2018, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognized a non-operating loss of $5.1 million related to the sale 
of an equity method investment. Additionally, the Company received contingent proceeds related to the final settlement of its 2015 
sale  of  an  equity  method  investment,  resulting  in  a  non-operating  gain  of  $2.5  million  recognized  during  the  year  ended

Insurance Risk Programs

Under a number of the Company’s insurance programs, which include the Company’s employee health insurance, workers’ 
compensation, and professional malpractice liability insurance programs, the Company is liable for a portion of its losses before 
it can attempt to recover from the applicable insurance carrier. The Company accrues for losses under an occurrence-based approach 
whereby the Company estimates the losses that will be incurred in a respective accounting period and accrues that estimated 
liability using actuarial methods. At December 31, 2017 and 2018, provisions for losses for professional liability risks retained by 
the Company have been discounted at 3%.  The Company recorded a liability of $157.1 million and $175.2 million related to these 
programs at December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. If the Company did not discount the provisions for losses for professional 
liability risks, the aggregate liability for all of the insurance risk programs would be approximately $162.1 million and $180.7 
million at December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. The Company also recorded insurance proceeds receivable of $25.8 million
and $32.4 million at December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively, for liabilities which exceed its deductibles and self-insured retention 
limits and are recoverable through insurance policies.

2017 Select Credit Facilities

On March 6, 2017, Select entered into a new senior secured credit agreement (the “Select credit agreement”) that provided 
for $1.6 billion in senior secured credit facilities comprising a $1.15 billion, seven-year term loan (the “Select term loan”) and a 
$450.0 million, five-year revolving credit facility (the “Select revolving facility” and, together with the Select term loan, the “Select 
credit facilities”), including a $75.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit.  

Select used borrowings under the Select credit facilities to: (i) repay the series E tranche B term loans due June 1, 2018, the 
series F tranche B term loans due March 3, 2021, and the revolving facility, maturing March 1, 2018, under Select’s 2011 credit 
facilities, and (ii) pay fees and expenses in connection with the refinancing.

Borrowings under the Select credit facilities initially had an interest rate equal to: (i) in the case of the Select term loan, the 
Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Select credit agreement) plus 3.50% (subject to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.00%), 
or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Select credit agreement) plus 2.50% (subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%), 
and (ii) in the case of the Select revolving facility, the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 3.00% to 3.25% or the 
Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.00% to 2.25%, in each case subject to a specified leverage ratio.

On March 22, 2018, Select entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Select credit agreement. Amendment No. 1 (i) decreased 
the applicable interest rate on the Select term loan from the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 3.50% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a 
percentage ranging from 2.50% to 2.75%, or from the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.50% to the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage 
ranging from 1.50% to 1.75%, in each case subject to a specified leverage ratio, (ii) decreased the applicable interest rate on the 
loans outstanding under the Select revolving facility from the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 3.00% to 3.25%
to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.50% to 2.75%, or from the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage 
ranging from 2.00% to 2.25% to the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.50% to 1.75%, in each case subject to 
a specified leverage ratio, (iii) extended the maturity date for the Select term loan to March 6, 2025, and (iv) made certain other 
technical amendments to the Select credit agreement as set forth therein.

Long-Term Debt and Notes Payable (Continued)

On October 26, 2018, Select entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Select credit agreement. Among other things, Amendment
No. 2 (i) decreased the applicable interest rate on the Select term loan from the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging 
from 2.50% to 2.75% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.25% to 2.50%, or from the Alternate Base Rate 
plus a percentage ranging from 1.50% to 1.75% to the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.25% to 1.50%, in 
each case subject to a specified leverage ratio, and (ii) decreased the applicable interest rate on the loans outstanding under the 
Select revolving facility from the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.50% to 2.75% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate 
plus a percentage ranging from 2.25% to 2.50%, or from the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.50% to 1.75%
to the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.25% to 1.50%, in each case subject to a specified leverage ratio. As 
amended, the Adjusted LIBO Rate and Alternate Base Rate under the Select credit agreement are no longer subject to the floor. 

As of December 31, 2018, the applicable interest rate for the Select term loan was the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 2.50% or 
the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.50%. The applicable interest rate for the Select revolving facility was the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 
2.50% or the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.50%.

The balance of the Select term loan will be payable on March 6, 2025; however, if Select’s 6.375% senior notes, which are 
due June 1, 2021, are outstanding on March 1, 2021, the maturity date for the Select term loan will become March 1, 2021. The 
Select revolving facility will be payable on March 6, 2022; however, if Select’s 6.375% senior notes are outstanding on February 1, 
2021, the maturity date for the Select revolving facility will become February 1, 2021. 

Select will be required to prepay borrowings under the Select credit facilities with (i) 100% of the net cash proceeds received 
from non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions, or as a result of a casualty or condemnation, subject to reinvestment 
provisions and other customary carveouts and, to the extent required, the payment of certain indebtedness secured by liens having 
priority over the debt under the Select credit facilities or subject to a first lien intercreditor agreement, (ii) 100% of the net cash 
proceeds received from the issuance of debt obligations other than certain permitted debt obligations, and (iii) 50% of excess cash 
flow (as defined in the Select credit agreement) if Select’s leverage ratio, as specified in the Select credit agreement, is greater 
than 4.50 to 1.00 and 25% of excess cash flow if Select’s leverage ratio is less than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00 and greater than 4.00
to 1.00, in each case, reduced by the aggregate amount of term loans, revolving loans and certain other debt optionally prepaid 
during the applicable fiscal year.  Select will not be required to prepay borrowings with excess cash flow if Select’s leverage ratio 
is less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00.

The Select revolving facility requires Select to maintain a leverage ratio, as specified in the Select credit agreement, not to 
exceed 6.25 to 1.00. The leverage ratio is tested quarterly. After March 31, 2019, the leverage ratio must not exceed 6.00 to 1.00.  
Failure to comply with this covenant would result in an event of default under the Select revolving facility and, absent a waiver 
or an amendment from the revolving lenders, preclude Select from making further borrowings under the Select revolving facility 
and permit the revolving lenders to accelerate all outstanding borrowings under the Select revolving facility. The termination of 
the Select revolving facility commitments and the acceleration of amounts outstanding thereunder would constitute an event of 
default with respect to the Select term loan. For each of the four fiscal quarters during the year ended December 31, 2018, Select 
was required to maintain its leverage ratio at less than 6.25 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2018, Select’s leverage ratio was 4.64 to 
1.00. 

 The Select credit facilities also contain a number of other affirmative and restrictive covenants, including limitations on 
mergers, consolidations and dissolutions; sales of assets; investments and acquisitions; indebtedness; liens; affiliate transactions; 
and dividends and restricted payments. The Select credit facilities contain events of default for non-payment of principal and 
interest when due (subject, as to interest, to a grace period), cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions and an event of default 
that would be triggered by a change of control.

Borrowings under the Select credit facilities are guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of Select’s current domestic 
subsidiaries and will be guaranteed by substantially all of Select’s future domestic subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Select credit 
facilities are secured by substantially all of Select’s existing and future property and assets and by a pledge of Select’s capital 
stock, the capital stock of Select’s domestic subsidiaries, and up to 65% of the capital stock of Select’s foreign subsidiaries held 
directly by Select or a domestic subsidiary.

On the last day of each calendar quarter, Select is required to pay each lender a commitment fee in respect of any unused 
commitments under the revolving facility, which is currently 0.50% per annum and subject to adjustment based on Select’s leverage 
ratio, as specified in the Select credit agreement.

Long-Term Debt and Notes Payable (Continued)

At December 31, 2018, Select had outstanding borrowings under the Select credit facilities consisting of a $1,129.9 million
Select term loan (excluding unamortized original issue discounts and debt issuance costs totaling $19.0 million) which matures 
on March 6, 2025, and borrowings of $20.0 million (excluding letters of credit) under the Select revolving facility which matures 
on March 6, 2022. At December 31, 2018, Select had $392.5 million of availability under the Select revolving facility after giving 
effect to $37.5 million of outstanding letters of credit.

Excess Cash Flow

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Select credit agreement will require a prepayment of borrowings of 50% of excess 
cash flow. This will result in a prepayment of approximately $98.8 million. The Company expects to have the borrowing capacity 
and intends to use borrowings under the Select revolving facility, which has a maturity date of March 6, 2022, to make all or a 
portion of the required prepayment during the quarter ended March 31, 2019; accordingly, the prepayment is reflected in long-
term debt, net of current portion on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018. Upon prepayment during the quarter 
ended March 31, 2019, the remaining principal outstanding under the Select term loan will be due at maturity on March 6, 2025. 

The Company was not required to make prepayments of borrowings as a result of excess cash flow from the years ended 

December 31, 2016 and 2017.

Senior Notes

On May 28, 2013, Select issued and sold $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due June 1, 
2021. On March 11, 2014, Select issued and sold $110.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional 6.375% senior notes, 
due June 1, 2021, at 101.5% of the aggregate principal amount (the “additional notes”). The notes were issued as additional notes 
under the indenture pursuant to which it previously issued $600.0 million of 6.375% senior notes due June 1, 2021 (the “existing 
notes” and, together with the additional notes, the “senior notes”). The additional notes are treated as a single series with the 
existing notes and have the same terms as those of the existing notes.

Interest on the senior notes accrues at the rate of 6.375% per annum and is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on June 1 
and December 1 of each year. The senior notes are Select’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with 
all of its other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of its existing and future 
subordinated indebtedness. The senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by all of Select’s wholly owned subsidiaries. 
The  senior  notes  are  guaranteed,  jointly  and  severally,  by  Select’s  direct  or  indirect  existing  and  future  domestic  restricted 
subsidiaries other than certain non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Select may redeem some or all of the senior notes at the following redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal 
amount on the redemption date), plus accrued interest, if any, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on June 1 of 
the years indicated below:

Select is obligated to offer to repurchase the senior notes at a price of 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid 
interest, if any, as a result of certain change of control events. These restrictions and prohibitions are subject to certain qualifications 
and exceptions.

The indenture relating to the senior notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit Select’s ability and the ability
of certain of its subsidiaries to grant liens on its assets; make dividend payments, other distributions or other restricted payments; 
incur restrictions on the ability of Select’s restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments; enter into sale and 
leaseback  transactions;  merge,  consolidate,  transfer  or  dispose  of  substantially  all  of  their  assets; incur  additional 
indebtedness; make investments; sell assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; use the proceeds from sales of assets, including 
capital stock of restricted subsidiaries; and enter into transactions with affiliates. In addition, the indenture requires, among other 
things, Select to provide financial and current reports to holders of the senior notes or file such reports electronically with the SEC. 
These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions, limitations and qualifications set forth in the indenture.

Concentra credit facilities

Concentra First Lien Credit Agreement

On June 1, 2015, the Concentra first lien credit agreement provided for $500.0 million in first lien loans comprised of a 
$450.0 million, seven-year term loan (the “existing Concentra first lien term loan”) and a $50.0 million, five-year revolving credit 
facility (the “Concentra revolving facility”). 

Borrowings  under  the  Concentra  first  lien  credit  agreement  had  an  interest  rate  equal  to:  (i)  in  the  case  of  the  existing 
Concentra first lien term loan, the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) plus 3.00% (subject 
to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.00%), or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) plus 
2.00% (subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%), and (ii) in the case of the Concentra revolving facility, the Adjusted 
LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.75% to 3.00%, or the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.75% to 
2.00%, in each case based on Concentra’s leverage ratio, as specified in the Concentra first lien credit agreement. 

On September 26, 2016, Concentra amended the Concentra first lien credit agreement. The credit agreement amendment 
provided an additional $200.0 million of first lien term loans due June 1, 2022, the proceeds of which were used to prepay in full 
Concentra’s then-outstanding $200.0 million eight-year second lien term loan due June 1, 2023, which was provided under a second 
lien credit agreement, and also amended certain restrictive covenants to give Concentra greater operational flexibility. Borrowings 
under the then-outstanding second lien term loan had an interest rate equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the second 
lien credit agreement) plus 8.00% (subject to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.00%), or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in 
the second lien credit agreement) plus 7.00% (subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%).

On February 1, 2018, Concentra amended the Concentra first lien credit agreement to, among other things, provide for (i) an 
additional $555.0 million in first lien term loans that, along with the existing Concentra first lien term loan, have a maturity date 
of June 1, 2022 (collectively, the “Concentra first lien term loan”) and (ii) an additional $25.0 million of revolving loans, that along 
with the existing $50.0 million revolving loans, comprise the five-year Concentra revolving facility under the terms of the existing 
Concentra first lien credit agreement. The amendment also decreased the applicable interest rate on the Concentra first lien term 
loan to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 2.75% (subject to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.00%), or to the Alternate Base Rate plus 
1.75% (subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%). Concentra used borrowings under the Concentra first lien credit agreement 
and the Concentra second lien credit agreement, as described below, together with cash on hand, to pay the cash purchase price 
for the issued and outstanding stock of U.S. HealthWorks to DHHC and to finance the redemption and reorganization transactions 
executed under the Purchase Agreement (as described in Note 2), as well as to pay fees and expenses associated with the financing.

On October 26, 2018, Concentra amended the Concentra first lien credit agreement to, among other things, provide for (i) 
an applicable interest rate on the Concentra first lien term loan of the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.50%
to 2.75% (with 2.75% being the initial rate), or the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.50% to 1.75% (with 
1.75% being the initial rate), in each case subject to a specified credit rating, and (ii) decrease the applicable interest rate on the 
loans outstanding under the Concentra revolving facility from the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.75% to 
3.00% to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a percentage ranging from 2.25% to 2.50%, or from the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage 
ranging from 1.75% to 2.00% to the Alternate Base Rate plus a percentage ranging from 1.25% to 1.50%, in each case subject to 
Concentra’s leverage ratio. As amended, the Adjusted LIBO Rate and Alternate Base Rate under the Concentra first lien credit 
agreement are no longer subject to a floor.

Long-Term Debt and Notes Payable (Continued)

As of December 31, 2018, the applicable interest rate for the Concentra first lien term loan was the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus

2.75% or the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.75%. 

The Concentra first lien credit agreement requires Concentra to maintain a leverage ratio, as specified in the Concentra first 
lien credit agreement, of 5.75 to 1.00 which is tested quarterly, but only if Revolving Exposure (as defined in the Concentra first 
lien credit agreement) exceeds 30% of Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Concentra first lien credit agreement) on such 
day. Failure to comply with this covenant would result in an event of default under the Concentra revolving facility only and, 
absent a waiver or an amendment from the revolving lenders, preclude Concentra from making further borrowings under the 
Concentra revolving facility and permit the revolving lenders to accelerate all outstanding borrowings under the Concentra revolving 
facility. Upon such acceleration, Concentra’s failure to comply with the financial covenant would result in an event of default with 
respect to the Concentra first lien term loan. Upon the acceleration of the revolving loans and the Concentra first lien term loan, 
an event of default would result with respect to the Concentra second lien credit agreement. 

Concentra Second Lien Credit Agreement

On February 1, 2018, Concentra entered into a second lien credit agreement (the “Concentra second lien credit agreement” 
and, together with the Concentra first lien credit agreement, the “Concentra credit facilities”) with Concentra Holdings, Inc., Wells 
Fargo Bank, National Association, as the administrative agent and the collateral agent, and the other lenders party thereto. 

The Concentra second lien credit agreement provided for $240.0 million in term loans (the “Concentra second lien term 
loan” and, together with the Concentra first lien term loan, the “Concentra term loans”) with a maturity date of June 1, 2023. 
Borrowings under the Concentra second lien credit agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined 
in the Concentra second lien credit agreement) plus 6.50% (subject to an Adjusted LIBO Rate floor of 1.00%), or the Alternate 
Base Rate (as defined in the Concentra second lien credit agreement) plus 5.50% (subject to an Alternate Base Rate floor of 2.00%).

In the event that, on or prior to February 1, 2019, Concentra voluntarily prepays any of the Concentra second lien term loan 
or refinances such term loans with net proceeds of other indebtedness, Concentra will pay a premium of 2.00% of the aggregate 
principal amount of the Concentra second lien term loan prepaid. If, on or prior to February 1, 2020, Concentra voluntarily prepays 
any of the Concentra second lien term loan or refinances such term loans with net proceeds of other indebtedness, Concentra will 
pay a premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Concentra second lien term loan prepaid.

Concentra Credit Facilities

Concentra will be required to prepay borrowings under the Concentra credit facilities with (i) 100% of the net cash proceeds 
received  from  non-ordinary  course  asset  sales  or  other  dispositions,  or  as  a  result  of  a  casualty  or  condemnation,  subject  to 
reinvestment provisions and other customary carveouts and the payment of certain indebtedness secured by liens, (ii) 100% of the 
net cash proceeds received from the issuance of debt obligations (other than certain permitted debt obligations), and (iii) 50% of 
excess cash flow (as defined in the Concentra credit facilities) if Concentra’s leverage ratio is greater than 4.25 to 1.00 and 25% 
of excess cash flow if Concentra’s leverage ratio is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1.00 and greater than 3.75 to 1.00, in each case, 
reduced by the aggregate amount of term loans and certain debt secured on a pari passu basis optionally prepaid during the applicable 
fiscal year and the aggregate amount of revolving commitments reduced permanently during the applicable fiscal year (other than 
in connection with a refinancing). Concentra will not be required to prepay borrowings with excess cash flow if Concentra’s 
leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00. No mandatory prepayment is required under the Concentra second lien credit 
agreement to the extent any mandatory prepayment is applied to indebtedness secured by liens ranking prior to the Concentra 
second lien credit agreement (and to the extent such debt is revolving indebtedness, such prepayment is accompanied by a permanent 
reduction of the applicable commitments). 

The  Concentra  credit  facilities  also  contain  a  number  of  affirmative  and  restrictive  covenants,  including  limitations  on 
mergers, consolidations and dissolutions; sales of assets; investments and acquisitions; indebtedness; liens; affiliate transactions; 
and dividends and restricted payments. The Concentra credit facilities contain events of default for non-payment of principal and 
interest when due (subject to a grace period for interest), cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions and an event of default 
that would be triggered by a change of control.

Long-Term Debt and Notes Payable (Continued)

The borrowings under the Concentra first lien credit agreement are guaranteed, on a first lien basis, and the borrowings under
the Concentra second lien credit agreement are guaranteed, on a second lien basis, by Concentra Holdings, Inc., Concentra, and 
certain domestic subsidiaries of Concentra (subject, in each case, to permitted liens). These borrowings will also be guaranteed 
by  certain  of  Concentra’s  future  domestic  subsidiaries.  The  borrowings  under  the  Concentra  credit  facilities  are  secured  by 
substantially all of Concentra's and its domestic subsidiaries’ existing and future property and assets and by a pledge of Concentra's 
capital stock, the capital stock of certain of Concentra's domestic subsidiaries and up to 65% of the voting capital stock and 100%
of the non-voting capital stock of Concentra's foreign subsidiaries, if any.

At December 31, 2018, Concentra had outstanding borrowings under the Concentra credit facilities consisting of the $1,414.2 
million Concentra term loans (excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs totaling $21.4 million). Concentra did not 
have any borrowings under the Concentra revolving facility. At December 31, 2018, Concentra had $62.3 million of availability 
under the Concentra revolving facility after giving effect to $12.7 million of outstanding letters of credit.

Excess Cash Flow Payment

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Concentra first lien credit agreement required a prepayment of borrowings of 
$23.1 million as a result of excess cash flow. The prepayment was made on March 1, 2017. Concentra was not required to make 
a prepayment of borrowings as a result of excess cash flow from the year ended December 31, 2017.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Concentra first lien credit agreement will require a prepayment of borrowings 
of 50% of excess cash flow. This will result in a prepayment of approximately $33.9 million. Concentra expects to use cash on 
hand to make all or a portion of the required prepayment during the quarter ended March 31, 2019; accordingly, the prepayment 
is reflected in current portion of long-term debt and notes payable on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018. 
Upon prepayment during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the remaining principal outstanding under the Concentra first lien 
term loan will be due at maturity on June 1, 2022. 

Fair Value

The Company considers the inputs in the valuation process to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy for Select’s 6.375%
senior notes and for its credit facilities. Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy is defined as inputs that are observable for the asset or 
liability, either directly or indirectly, which includes quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

The fair values of the Select credit facilities and the Concentra credit facilities were based on quoted market prices for this 
debt in the syndicated loan market. The fair value of Select’s 6.375% senior notes was based on quoted market prices. The carrying 
amount of other debt, principally short-term notes payable, approximates fair value.

Loss on Early Retirement of Debt

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company refinanced a portion of the term loans outstanding under the 2011 
Select credit facilities, which resulted in a loss on early retirement of debt of $0.8 million. Additionally, Concentra prepaid its 
second lien term loan, which resulted in a loss on early retirement of debt of $10.9 million. 

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company refinanced the 2011 Select credit facilities which resulted in a loss 
on early retirement of debt of $19.7 million. The loss on early retirement of debt consisted of $6.5 million of debt extinguishment 
losses and $13.2 million of debt modification losses. 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company refinanced the Select and Concentra credit facilities which resulted 
in losses on early retirement of debt of $14.2 million. The losses on early retirement of debt consisted of $3.0 million of debt 
extinguishment losses and $11.2 million of debt modification losses.

13. Stock-based Compensation

Holdings awards stock-based compensation in the form of stock options and restricted stock awards under its equity incentive
plans. On June 2, 2016, Holdings adopted the Select Medical Holdings Corporation 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and 
its existing plans were frozen. The total capacity for restricted stock and stock option awards under the Plan is 7,698,700 awards, 
as adjusted for forfeited restricted stock and stock options awards through December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, Holdings 
has capacity to issue 3,184,185 restricted stock and stock option awards under the Plan. Holdings’ equity plan allows for authorized 
but previously unissued shares or shares previously issued and outstanding and reacquired by Holdings to satisfy these awards. 

On November 8, 2005, the board of directors of Holdings adopted a director equity incentive plan (“Director Plan”) and on 
August 12, 2009, the board of directors and stockholders of Holdings approved an amendment and restatement of the Director 
Plan. This amendment authorized Holdings to issue under the Director Plan options to purchase up to 75,000 shares of its common 
stock and restricted stock awards covering up to 150,000 shares of its common stock. On June 2, 2016, upon the adoption of the 
Select Medical Holdings Corporation 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, the Director Plan was frozen.

13. Stock-based Compensation (Continued)

The Company measures the compensation costs of stock-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair
value and recognizes the costs over the period during which employees are required to provide services. The Company values 
restricted stock awards by using the closing market price of its stock on the date of grant. The Company values stock options using 
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no options granted during the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company 
recognizes any forfeitures as they occur.

of restricted stock awards vested was $8.4 million, $17.1 million, and $19.1 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2018, there were 105,000 stock options outstanding and exercisable. The outstanding and exercisable 
shares have a weighted average exercise price of $9.18 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 0.9 years. As of 
December 31, 2017, there were 291,775 stock options outstanding and exercisable which had a weighted average exercise price 
of $9.26.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, 185,275 options were exercised, which had a weighted average exercise price 
of  $9.30, and 1,500 options were canceled, which had a weighted average exercise price of $10.00. For the years ended December 31, 
2016, 2017, and 2018, the total intrinsic value of options exercised was $0.8 million, $1.6 million, and $1.8 million, respectively.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law which made significant changes to the Internal 
Revenue Code. These changes included a corporate tax rate decrease to 21% from 35% effective after December 31, 2017. ASC 
Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the 
period in which the legislation is enacted at the income tax rates in which the deferred tax balances are expected to reverse. While 
the effective date of the new corporate tax rate was January 1, 2018, the Company recorded the effect on its deferred tax balances 
as of December 31, 2017. The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $71.5 million to reflect these effects during the 
year ended December 31, 2017. The Company’s accounting for the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is complete as of December 
31, 2018.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the Company’s valuation allowance is primarily attributable to the uncertainty regarding 
the realization of state net operating losses and other net deferred tax assets of loss entities. The state net deferred tax assets have 
a full valuation allowance recorded for entities that have a cumulative history of pre-tax losses (current year in addition to the two 
prior years). 

For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a net valuation allowance release of $13.4 million which was 
comprised of a valuation release of $14.1 million related to federal net operating losses acquired as part of the Physiotherapy 
acquisition and $0.2 million of expired state net operating losses, partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in the valuation allowance 
for newly generated state net operating losses. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a net valuation 
allowance increase of $4.9 million. This increase was comprised of a $3.9 million valuation allowance recognized on net operating 
losses acquired and recorded as part of U.S. HealthWorks’ opening balance sheet, and a $1.0 million valuation allowance recognized 
as a result of a net change in state net operating losses for the year ended December 31, 2018. The changes in the Company’s 
valuation allowance were recognized as a result of management’s reassessment of the amount of its deferred tax assets that are 
more likely than not to be realized.

Income Taxes (Continued)

At December 31, 2017 and 2018, the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities of approximately $105.5 million and $135.3
million, respectively, consist of items which have been recognized for tax reporting purposes, but which will increase tax on returns 
to be filed in the future, and include the use of net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has performed an assessment of 
positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of the net deferred tax assets. This assessment included a review of legal 
entities with three years of cumulative losses, estimates of projected future taxable income, the effects on future taxable income 
resulting from the reversal of existing deferred tax liabilities in future periods, and the impact of tax planning strategies that 
management would and could implement in order to keep deferred tax assets from expiring unused. Although realization is not 
assured, based on the Company’s assessment, it has concluded that it is more likely than not that such assets, net of the determined 
valuation allowance, will be realized.

The total state net operating losses are approximately $698.1 million. State net operating loss carryforwards expire and are 

subject to valuation allowances as follows:

Litigation

The Company is a party to various legal actions, proceedings, and claims (some of which are not insured), and regulatory 
and other governmental audits and investigations in the ordinary course of its business. The Company cannot predict the ultimate 
outcome of pending litigation, proceedings, and regulatory and other governmental audits and investigations. These matters could 
potentially subject the Company to sanctions, damages, recoupments, fines, and other penalties. The Department of Justice, Centers 
for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”), or other federal and state enforcement and regulatory agencies may conduct additional 
investigations related to the Company’s businesses in the future that may, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material 
adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.

To address claims arising out of the Company’s operations, the Company maintains professional malpractice liability insurance 
and general liability insurance coverages through a number of different programs that are dependent upon such factors as the state 
where the Company is operating and whether the operations are wholly owned or are operated through a joint venture.  For the 
Company’s wholly owned operations, the Company currently maintains insurance coverages under a combination of policies with 
a total annual aggregate limit up to $40.0 million. The Company’s insurance for the professional liability coverage is written on 
a “claims-made” basis, and its commercial general liability coverage is maintained on an “occurrence” basis. These coverages 
apply after a self-insured retention limit is exceeded.  For the Company’s joint venture operations, the Company has numerous 
programs that are designed to respond to the risks of the specific joint venture.  The annual aggregate limit under these programs 
ranges from $5.0 million to $20.0 million.  The policies are generally written on a “claims-made” basis.  Each of these programs 
has  either  a  deductible  or  self-insured  retention  limit. The  Company  reviews  its  insurance  program  annually  and  may  make 
adjustments to the amount of insurance coverage and self-insured retentions in future years. The Company also maintains umbrella 
liability insurance covering claims which, due to their nature or amount, are not covered by or not fully covered by the Company’s 
other insurance policies. These insurance policies also do not generally cover punitive damages and are subject to various deductibles 
and policy limits. Significant legal actions, as well as the cost and possible lack of available insurance, could subject the Company 
to substantial uninsured liabilities. In the Company’s opinion, the outcome of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will 
not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Healthcare providers are subject to lawsuits under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act. Qui tam lawsuits 
typically remain under seal (hence, usually unknown to the defendant) for some time while the government decides whether or 
not to intervene on behalf of a private qui tam plaintiff (known as a relator) and take the lead in the litigation. These lawsuits can 
involve significant monetary damages and penalties and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring the suits. The 
Company is and has been a defendant in these cases in the past, and may be named as a defendant in similar cases from time to

Evansville Litigation.    On October 19, 2015, the plaintiff-relators filed a Second Amended Complaint in United States of 
America,  ex  rel.  Tracy  Conroy,  Pamela  Schenk  and  Lisa  Wilson  v.  Select  Medical  Corporation,  Select  Specialty  Hospital-
Evansville, LLC (“SSH Evansville”), Select Employment Services, Inc., and Dr. Richard Sloan. The case is a civil action filed in 
the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana by private plaintiff-relators on behalf of the United States 
under the federal False Claims Act. The plaintiff-relators are the former CEO and two former case managers at SSH Evansville, 
and the defendants currently include the Company, SSH Evansville, a subsidiary of the Company serving as common paymaster 
for its employees, and a physician who practices at SSH Evansville. The plaintiff-relators allege that SSH Evansville discharged 
patients too early or held patients too long, improperly discharged patients to and readmitted them from short stay hospitals, 
up coded diagnoses at admission, and admitted patients for whom long term acute care was not medically necessary. They also 
allege that the defendants engaged in retaliation in violation of federal and state law. The Second Amended Complaint replaced a 
prior complaint that was filed under seal on September 28, 2012 and served on the Company on February 15, 2013, after a federal 
magistrate judge unsealed it on January 8, 2013. All deadlines in the case had been stayed after the seal was lifted in order to allow 
the government time to complete its investigation and to decide whether or not to intervene. On June 19, 2015, the United States 
Department of Justice notified the District Court of its decision not to intervene in the case.

In December 2015, the defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on multiple grounds, including 
that the action is disallowed by the False Claims Act’s public disclosure bar, which disqualifies qui tam actions that are based on 
fraud already publicly disclosed through enumerated sources, unless the relator is an original source, and that the plaintiff relators 
did not plead their claims with sufficient particularity, as required by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Thereafter, the United States filed a notice asserting a veto of the defendants’ use of the public disclosure bar for claims
arising from conduct from and after March 23, 2010, which was based on certain statutory changes to the public disclosure bar 
language included in the Affordable Care Act. On September 30, 2016, the District Court partially granted and partially denied 
the defendants’ Motion to Dismiss. It ruled that the plaintiff-relators alleged substantially the same conduct as had been publicly 
disclosed  and  that  the  plaintiff-relators  are  not  original  sources,  so  that  the  public  disclosure  bar  requires  dismissal  of  all 
non retaliation claims arising from conduct before March 23, 2010. The District Court also ruled that the statutory changes to the 
public disclosure bar gave the United States the power to veto its applicability to claims arising from conduct on and after March 23, 
2010, and therefore did not dismiss those claims based on the public disclosure bar. However, the District Court ruled that the 
plaintiff-relators did not plead certain of their claims relating to interrupted stay manipulation and premature discharging of patients 
with the requisite particularity, and dismissed those claims. The District Court declined to dismiss the plaintiff relators’ claims 
arising from conduct from and after March 23, 2010 relating to delayed discharging of patients and up-coding and the plaintiff-
relators’ retaliation claims. The plaintiff-relators then proposed a case management plan seeking nationwide discovery involving 
all of the Company’s LTCHs for the period from March 23, 2010 through the present and allowing discovery that would facilitate 
the use of statistical sampling to prove liability, which the defendants opposed. In April 2018, a U.S. magistrate judge ruled that 
plaintiff-relators’ discovery will be limited to only SSH-Evansville for the period from March 23, 2010 through September 30, 
2016, and that the plaintiff-relators will be required to prove the fraud that they allege on a claim-by-claim basis, rather than using 
statistical sampling. The plaintiff-relators have appealed this decision to the District Judge.

The Company intends to vigorously defend this action, but at this time the Company is unable to predict the timing and 

outcome of this matter.

Wilmington Litigation.    On January 19, 2017, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware unsealed a qui 
tam Complaint in United States of America and State of Delaware ex rel. Theresa Kelly v. Select Specialty Hospital-Wilmington, Inc. 
(“SSH Wilmington”), Select Specialty Hospitals, Inc., Select Employment Services, Inc., Select Medical Corporation, and Crystal 
Cheek,  No. 16 347 LPS.  The  Complaint  was  initially  filed  under  seal  in  May 2016  by  a  former  chief  nursing  officer  at 
SSH Wilmington and was unsealed after the United States filed a Notice of Election to Decline Intervention in January 2017. The 
corporate defendants were served in March 2017. In the complaint, the plaintiff relator alleges that the Select defendants and an 
individual defendant, who is a former health information manager at SSH Wilmington, violated the False Claims Act and the 
Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act based on allegedly falsifying medical practitioner signatures on medical records and 
failing to properly examine the credentials of medical practitioners at SSH Wilmington. In response to the Select defendants’ 
motion to dismiss the Complaint, in May 2017 the plaintiff-relator filed an Amended Complaint asserting the same causes of 
action. The Select defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint based on numerous grounds, including that the 
Amended Complaint did not plead any alleged fraud with sufficient particularity, failed to plead that the alleged fraud was material 
to the government’s payment decision, failed to plead sufficient facts to establish that the Select defendants knowingly submitted 
false claims or records, and failed to allege any reverse false claim.  In March 2018, the District Court dismissed the plaintiff relator’s 
claims related to the alleged failure to properly examine medical practitioners’ credentials, her reverse false claims allegations, 
and her claim that defendants violated the Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act.  It denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss 
claims that the allegedly falsified medical practitioner signatures violated the False Claims Act. Separately, the District Court 
dismissed the individual defendant due to plaintiff-relator’s failure to timely serve the amended complaint upon her.

In March 2017, the plaintiff-relator initiated a second action by filing a Complaint in the Superior Court of the State of 
Delaware in Theresa Kelly v. Select Medical Corporation, Select Employment Services, Inc., and SSH Wilmington, C.A. No. 
N17C-03-293  CLS.  The  Delaware  Complaint  alleges  that  the  defendants  retaliated  against  her  in  violation  of  the  Delaware 
Whistleblowers’ Protection Act for reporting the same alleged violations that are the subject of the federal Amended Complaint. 
The defendants filed a motion to dismiss, or alternatively to stay, the Delaware Complaint based on the pending federal Amended 
Complaint and the failure to allege facts to support a violation of the Delaware Whistleblowers’ Protection Act.  In January 2018, 
the Court stayed the Delaware Complaint pending the outcome of the federal case.

The Company intends to vigorously defend these actions, but at this time the Company is unable to predict the timing and 

outcome of this matter.

Contract Therapy Subpoena.    On May 18, 2017, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
District of New Jersey seeking various documents principally relating to the Company’s contract therapy division, which contracted 
to furnish rehabilitation therapy services to residents of skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) and other providers. The Company 
operated its contract therapy division through a subsidiary until March 31, 2016, when the Company sold the stock of the subsidiary. 
The subpoena seeks documents that appear to be aimed at assessing whether therapy services were furnished and billed in compliance 
with Medicare SNF billing requirements, including whether therapy services were coded at inappropriate levels and whether 
excessive or unnecessary therapy was furnished to justify coding at higher paying levels. The Company does not know whether 
the subpoena has been issued in connection with a qui tam lawsuit or in connection with possible civil, criminal or administrative 
proceedings by the government. The Company is producing documents in response to the subpoena and intends to fully cooperate 
with this investigation. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the timing and outcome of this matter.
